The Guadeloupe national football team (French: sélection de la Guadeloupe de football) is the regional team of the French overseas department and region of Guadeloupe and is controlled by the Ligue Guadeloupéenne de Football, local branch of Federation Francaise de Football. As part of French Republic, Guadeloupe is not a member of FIFA, and is therefore not eligible to enter the World Cup, but they do compete in CONCACAF competitions.
