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.[http://www.conifa.org/en/2019/10/29/saint-pierre-and-miquelon-to-build-a-ground-with-an-artificial-pitch-and-join-concacaf/ Saint Pierre and Miquelon to build a ground with an artificial pitch and join CONCACAF] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191030213914/http://www.conifa.org/en/2019/10/29/saint-pierre-and-miquelon-to-build-a-ground-with-an-artificial-pitch-and-join-concacaf/ |date=2019-10-30 }} ConIFA.
