The Sint Eustatius national football team is the national association football team of the Caribbean island of Sint Eustatius. It is a not member of the Caribbean Football Union, CONCACAF, or FIFA and therefore cannot compete in tournaments sanctioned by these organizations. [1] It is under the auspices of the Statia Football Association. [2]
History
Formerly Sint Eustatius was represented in international football by the Netherlands Antilles national football team until the country was dissolved on 10 October 2010 and Sint Eustatius became a separate Special Municipality. [3] Since 2004 Sint Eustatius has played at least nine international friendlies against neighboring island Saba in a series of inter-island matches. [4]
The national football team of Bonaire, another island that holds the status of Special Municipality within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has been a member of the CFU and CONCACAF since 2013 through the support of the Dutch KNVB, leaving open the possibility for Sint Eustatius membership in the governing bodies. [5] [6] In August 2021 the KNVB, joined by Bert Zuurman and former Aruba national team coach Elvis Albertus, organized a football course on the island. [7]
Stadium
The team's home stadium is the Cottage Ball Park in the capital of Oranjestad, the only football venue on the island. [8]
List of international matches
- As of 6 May 2011. [4]
Youth matches between the islands were organized on 29 October 2011
