The French Guiana national football team (French : Sélection de Guyane de football) represents the French Guiana (French overseas department) in men's international football, which is governed by the Ligue de football de la Guyane (English: Football League of Guiana) founded in 1962, the local branch of the FFF. It has been an associate member of CONCACAF since 1978 and becoming a full member in 2013, but is not affiliated with FIFA. Regionally, it is an affiliate member of CFU in the Caribbean Zone.

The French Guiana has qualified once for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2017, and has also participated once in League A and three times in League B of the CONCACAF Nations League. Regionally, the team finished third place in the 1983 CFU Championship and also in the 2017 Caribbean Cup. The French Guiana cannot participate in World Cup qualifiers or FIFA global competitions, as it is not a FIFA member.

Overview

As an overseas department of the French Republic, it is an integral part of France and thus not a member of FIFA. French Guiana is therefore not eligible to enter a team in the World Cup independent of France. As full citizens of France, indistinguishable from any other French citizen, French Guianans are eligible to play for the France national football team.

Bernard Lama, Mike Maignan and Florent Malouda are three examples of Guianese players who have played for the France national team; Maignan is currently the first choice goalkeeper for the France national team and won the UEFA Nations league 2020–21 with the team; Lama was a member of the 1998 World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000 winning squads while Malouda played for the French team that finished runner-up in the 2006 World Cup.

CONCACAF

While it is not a member of FIFA, French Guiana is a member of CONCACAF and CFU, and thus eligible for all competitions organized by both. For any purpose outside of World Cup competition, all of the regional continental confederations may allow teams to be entered by territories that are de jure part of a country, the bulk of which is located in a different continental confederation region.

According to the status of the FFF (article 34, paragraph 6): "[...]Under the control of related continental confederations, and with the agreement of the FFF, those leagues can organize international sport events at a regional level or set up teams in order to participate to them."
