The Guadeloupe national football team () represents Guadeloupe (French overseas department) in men's international football, which is governed by the Ligue guadeloupéenne de football () founded in 1958, the local branch of the FFF. It has been an associate member of CONCACAF since 1964 and becoming a full member in 2013, but is not affiliated with FIFA. Regionally, it is an affiliate member of CFU in the Caribbean Zone.
Guadeloupe has qualified for the CONCACAF Gold Cup six times, reaching the semifinals in 2007, and has also participated once in League A, twice in League B and once in League C of the CONCACAF Nations League. Regionally, the team finished as runners-up in the 2010 Caribbean Cup. Guadeloupe cannot participate in World Cup qualifiers or FIFA global competitions, as it is not a FIFA member.
Guadeloupeans, being French citizens, are eligible to play for the France national football team. Guadeloupe is, however, a member of CONCACAF and CFU and is eligible for all competitions organized by both the organizations. 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."
History
Guadeloupe was a surprise qualifier for the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the team earned qualification to the tournament after finishing in fourth place in the 2007 Caribbean Cup. The appearance in the Gold Cup marked Guadeloupe's first in the competition and they opened the campaign on 6 June 2007 with a 1–1 draw against Haiti. In the team's following match against Canada, 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 Costa Rica, to close out group play.
Guadeloupe advanced to the knockout stage of the competition as a result of being the second best performing third-place team in group play. In the quarter-finals, 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 Cup meant a consecutive appearance in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Ahead of the competition, the team's 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 invitation or was denied by his parent club with Salnot expressing his disappointment at the latter issue.
Guadeloupe was inserted to Group C of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup 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 defeating 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.
In 2021, Guadeloupe once again qualified to compete for the Gold Cup.
On 27 June 2023, Guadeloupe was able to tie with Canada 2-2 in the remaining minutes of a 2023 Gold Cup Group Stage match.
