in international football. The team is controlled by the Ligue Guadeloupéenne de Football
(Guadeloupean Football League), a local branch of French Football Federation
.
As an overseas department

. Guadeloupe is, however, a member of CONCACAF
and the CFU

Indeed, according to the status of the FFF (article 34, paragraph 6): "[...]Under the control of related continental confederations, and with the agreement of the FFF, those leagues can organize international sport events at a regional level or set up teams in order to participate to them." A special rule of the CONCACAF Gold Cup
only allows players to join the team if they have not played for France during the past five years. On the other side, any player joining Guadeloupe is allowed to join the France national team after-wards without any time restrictions.
Guadeloupe's highest honor to date was reaching the final at the 2010 Caribbean Championship
where they were defeated by Jamaica
on penalties. In the CONCACAF Gold Cup
, Guadeloupe reached the semi-finals in 2007
. The team performed well in the group stage defeating Canada and drawing with Haiti

, Guadeloupe recorded a 2–1 victory in front of 20,000 spectators at the Orange Bowl
in Miami. The team finally succumbed to defeat losing 1–0 to the reigning champions
of UNCAF, Costa Rica
, to close out group play.
Guadeloupe advanced to the knockout stage of the competition as a result of being the best performing third-place team in group play. In the quarterfinals, Guadeloupe were pitted against Honduras
and earned an upset victory defeating the Hondurans 2–1 at the Reliant Stadium
in Houston. Prior to its elimination, Honduras had been equal to the task of Guadeloupe having beaten Mexico
2–1 and dominating Cuba
5–0. In the ensuing round, Guadeloupe were defeated by Mexico 1–0. However, despite the loss, Guadeloupe were praised for its strong defensive performance. Guadeloupe's finish in the tournament was the best finish by a Caribbean island team since Trinidad and Tobago
reached the semifinals of the 2000 tournament
.
Guadeloupe's respectable third-place finish in the 2008 Caribbean Championship meant a consecutive appearance in the Gold Cup. Ahead of the competition, regional team coach Roger Salnot
sought to increase Guadeloupe's chances of winning by calling up players of Guadeloupean descent who were born in metropolitan France
. Salnot named notable players to his preliminary squad such as goalkeeper Yohann Thuram
, defenders Daniel Congré
, Michaël Ciani
, Ronald Zubar
, midfielders Étienne
and Aurélien
Capoue, and Ludovic Sylvestre
, and attackers Alexandre Alphonse
, Claudio Beauvue
, and Richard Socrier
. All players had been effective players in Ligue 1
and abroad. However, despite calling up an abundance of talent, only Alexandre Alphonse was allowed participation by his club. Every other player either personally turned down the invite or was denied by his parent club with Salnot expressing his disappointment at the latter issue.
In the tournament
, Guadeloupe were inserted to Group C alongside Mexico, Panama
, and Nicaragua
. The team started off the group with two straight victories defeating Panama 2–1 at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and systematically disabling the Nicaraguans 2–0 at the Reliant Stadium
in Houston. In the team's final group stage match against Mexico, Guadeloupe was beaten 2–0 in Phoenix
. Guadeloupe's second place finish in the group meant another appearance in the knockout stage
, where the team was pitted against Costa Rica in the quarter-finals at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas
. In the match, it was Costa Rica who dominated scoring twice within the first 20 minutes of the match. Costa Rica finished the match with five goals with Guadeloupe getting a consolation goal from Alphonse in the second half.
