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]
