Draw for the third edition of the "Coupe de l'Outre-Mer" took place this morning in Paris (France). Group A : Reunion, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Group B : Martinique, New Caledonia, Polynesia, Mayotte. The competition will run from saturday 22 to saturday, september 29th in Paris region. Former champions 2008 : Reunion 2010 : Martinique
I'd prefer to see Saint Martin. They are a CONCACAF member at least, and would put up a better show than SPM. A few years ago, the Saint Martin FA were interested in taking part, but I don't know why they weren't invited. Perhaps because their league covers 2 separate territories (Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy)? Apart from that, there is also Wallis & Futuna from Oceania, but football seems to have gone dormant there.
In preparation for the coupe de l'outre-mer and the Digicel Caribbean Cup, Martinique and Guadeloupe meet this week Guyana. May 2nd : Martinique - Guyana 2-2 Today at the Abymes stadium (Guadeloupe) : Guadeloupe vs Guyana (8 PM)
Starts tomorrow, I would predict a Guadeloupe - Martinique final. Reunion could definitely challenge though, and aside from St Pierre and Miquelon (who I wish all the best, but I just can't see being competitive) all of the other sides can definitely compete.
