Like the Dutch half of the island, Saint Martin is not a member of FIFA, but a full member of CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union CFU. In 2023, the team briefly wore Viomar shirts, a small Colombian sports brand.

That is not a coincidence, but a play of words with the name of the island. That's not just lovely, but also much cooler than using the flag of your colonial power, which is why I chose this flag for the post.…
