The Sint Maarten national football team is the football team of Sint Maarten, the Dutch half of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, and is controlled by the Sint Maarten Football Federation. Sint Maarten is not a member of FIFA, and therefore not eligible to enter the World Cup. However, the association applied for FIFA membership in 2016 but was rejected.[5] In April 2022, the Sint Maarten Soccer Association appealed to the CAS against FIFA’s ruling.[6]
In 2002, the Sint Maarten Soccer Association was given associate membership in CONCACAF and became full members at the XXVIII Ordinary Congress in April 2013[7][8] after becoming an independent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands after the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved in 2010.[9] They are also members of the Caribbean Football Union[10] and first took part in the Caribbean Cup in its inaugural edition in 1989.[11]
