CONCACAF membership

Unlike most of the other teams representing French territories in the Western Hemisphere, Saint Pierre and Miquelon is not a member of CONCACAF and therefore does not participate in competitions such as the CONCACAF Gold Cup or CONCACAF Nations League. However, in October 2019 the territory announced its intentions to build a suitable venue and join the organization.[2] It is expected to become a member in September 2021.[3] An official request to CONCACAF had already been submitted by October 2019.[4] League president Herve Huet was then set to meet with CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani in May 2020.[5]

Fixtures and results

Saint Pierre and Miquelon's first official match was an 11–0 defeat to Réunion in the 2010 Coupe de l'Outre-Mer, a competition for teams representing the Overseas departments and territories of France.[6] Kevin Mathiaud and Xavier Delamaire scored Saint Pierre and Miquelon's first and second-ever goals, respectively, during the 2012 edition of the tournament after the team was held scoreless two years earlier.[7] Despite planning to hold a 2014 competition, the FFF has dissolved the tournament, citing the excessive cost. Saint Pierre and Miquelon has not played an official match since.[8]
