Sint Maarten is not a member of FIFA, and therefore not eligible to enter the World Cup. However, the association applied for FIFA membership in 2016 but was rejected.<ref name="Sports Person of the Year">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link</ref> In April 2022, the Sint Maarten Football Federation appealed to the CAS against FIFA’s ruling.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2002, the Sint Maarten Soccer Association was given associate membership in CONCACAF and became full members at the XXVIII Ordinary Congress in April 2013<ref name=advancement>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="CONCACAF profile">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> after becoming an independent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands after the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved in 2010.<ref name=independent>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> They are also members of the Caribbean Football Union<ref name="CFU profile">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and first took part in the Caribbean Cup in its inaugural edition in 1989.<ref name="Shell Football Cup">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

HistoryEdit

From 1992 to 2016, the team had played approximately only 25 official matches.<ref name="List of International Matches">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Between 2000 and 2016, only one match had been played, an unofficial 2–2 draw at home to Sint Eustatius on 20 August 2004.<ref name="CFD profile">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2012, SMSA President Owen Nickie stated that the national team's inactivity was due to a lack of needed improvements on their home stadium. He indicated that not having enough players to choose from had also prevented the team from competing in the past but that they had more than enough players at that time. At that time, the association discussed hosting the Leeward Islands Tournament and participating in 2012 Caribbean Cup qualification as two of its objectives for the year. Nickie described not entering a team in the Caribbean Cup in the past as "unfortunate".<ref name="abuse of field">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In August 2014, Sint Maarten was set to co-host the Leeward Islands Tournament which had been dormant at that time for over ten years.<ref name="Leeward Islands">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> However, the tournament was postponed after Sint Maarten withdrew as host because of difficulties with the newly installed lights at the Raoul Illidge Sports Complex and Anguilla, the other host, withdrew for unspecified reasons. One report also indicated that the hosts withdrew because of an "inability to facilitate teams."<ref name=postponed>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In May 2015, a match was organized by the SMSA as a showcase for selecting a national team player pool. It was open to all players with a Dutch passport.<ref name="Soccer Association National Team">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although Sint Maarten's senior team was dormant, a youth selection participated in the inaugural CONCACAF Under-15 Championship in August 2013<ref name="Player Profiles">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Sint Maarten co-hosted the 2015 CFU Boy's Under-15 Championship<ref name="CFU step in">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> after the 2015 CONCACAF Under-15 Championship was canceled by CONCACAF for unspecified reasons.<ref name="CONCACAF cancels">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

2017 Caribbean CupEdit

Sint Maarten returned to international football in 2016, entering 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification and being drawn into Group 2 along with Grenada and the US Virgin Islands with the first round matches taking place on 22 and 26 March 2016.<ref name=Groupings>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link</ref> Sint Maarten had been absent from senior CFU competition for nineteen years as they entered the tournament.<ref name="CFD Tweet">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Draw sets Caribbean’s road">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In January 2016 it was announced that Sint Maarten's squad for 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification would be composed solely of players from Flames United SC,<ref name="SMSA represented">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> reigning champions from the 2014/2015 Senior league competitions and the champions of the 2012/2013 Excellence Division between the islands of Sint Maarten, Saint Martin and St. Barths.<ref name="first round Caribbean Cup">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> However, shortly thereafter it was reported that the previous report was inaccurate and that Flames United would actually be competing in the CFU Club Championship.<ref name="SMSA represented"/> Sint Maarten played its first senior men's international in 12 years on 13 March 2016 as it hosted a 2–0 home victory against Anguilla as part of each side's preparation for 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification. Both of Sint Maarten's goals were scored by Joost Röben.<ref name="Sint Maarten and Martinique win friendlies">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In the first match of the tournament, Sint Maarten held Grenada to a scoreless draw in the first half which saw two of Sint Maarten's starters sustain injuries.<ref name="hoping to be home">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was later revealed that Raymond Wolff had sustained a broken rib before coming off in the first half while fellow-Dutchman Rick De Punder was credited with an own goal.<ref name="Wolff, De Punder">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Grenada scored five goals in the second half to secure the 5–0 victory. Sint Maarten arrived on Grenada for the 8pm match at 4pm after the funds for the team airfare, paid for by the CFU, did not reach the airline in time and no seats were available. SMSA President Johnny Singh thought that the team would not be able to compete but another flight was arranged in time. The same scenario occurred for the return flight but the team was expected to be home on the Thursday prior to the team's match against USVI on Saturday.<ref name="hoping to be home"/> Sint Maarten went on to lose the match to USVI 1–2, ending the team's qualifying campaign. Sint Maarten's only goal was scored by Ramsleii Boelijn.<ref name="Caribbean Cup Recap">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

StadiumEdit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}

Sint Maarten plays its home matches at the Raoul Illidge Sports Complex in Philipsburg. The stadium has a capacity of 3,000 spectators. It is named after Raoul Illidge, a local philanthropist who laid the groundwork and covered many expenses in the planning of the stadium as part of his support for sport and culture on the island. Unsolicited, he contributed nearly ƒ800,000 for the project.<ref name="Official opening">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After falling into disrepair, the complex was temporarily closed for renovation in July 2013. The two-part renovation included installation of a new running track, drainage system, and artificial turf, repainting of lighting poles and installation of new, brighter lights, in addition to a renovation of the complex's buildings.<ref name="Temporarily Closed">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The renovation costs were financed by the Dutch funding agency Usona and the Sint Maarten government. The international sports park was official reopened with a ribbon cutting ceremony by Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams and Minister of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports Affairs Patricia Lourens-Phillip on 7 March 2014.<ref name=Reopening>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=Speech>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
