Overseas Collectivity
The French overseas collectivities (''collectivité d'outre-mer'' or ''COM'') are first-order administrative divisions of France, like the French regions, but have a semi-autonomous status. The COMs include some former French overseas colonies and other French overseas entities with a particular status, all of which became COMs by constitutional reform on 28 March 2003. The COMs differ from overseas regions and overseas departments, which have the same status as metropolitan France but are located outside Europe. As integral parts of France, overseas collectivities are represented in the National Assembly, Senate and Economic and Social Council.

Saint Barthélemy National Football Team
The Saint Barthélemy national football team is the official association football team of Saint Barthélemy. The association is in the process of joining the Caribbean Football Union and CONCACAF and therefore cannot yet compete in tournaments sanctioned by these organizations. History In 2010 Chelsea FC owner and Saint Barthélemy resident Roman Abramovich donated a reported $3 million to renovate the Stade de Saint-Jean. This allowed Saint Barthélemy to host home matches. In 2019 the Comité Territorial de Football de Saint-Barthélemy began the process of joining the Caribbean Football Union and CONCACAF for the first time. This led to the start of the Saint Barthélemy team playing friendlies, though action was limited until they hosted friendly tournaments in 2018 and 2019. While competitive against their close neighbours, match time is still limited in comparison to members of CONCACAF. The women's team would also play in 2019, defeating Sint Maarten Sint Maarten () ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Football In Saint Barthélemy
The sport of association football in the island of Saint Barthélemy is run by the Saint Barthélemy Football Association. The association administers the men's national football team, the women's national football team, the Saint-Barthelemy Championships, and the Trophée José da Silva. There are also veterans matches and youth involvement for both genders, though this appears to be limited to individual events. The sport is mostly restricted to the Stade de Saint-Jean, which is located in the capital Gustavia, a multi-purpose stadium constructed in the 1970s. As the pitch aged, it required renovation and Roman Abramovich provided £3m to this effect in 2010. While the island was included as part of Guadeloupe up until 2007, the Saint-Barthelemy Championships started as early as 2004, with the most successful club being APSB. The championship has run annually since, though was not run in 2020/21 due to the pandemic. No corresponding women's league appears to yet be running, t ...
