[edit] Flag
What is the situation with the Guadeloupe flag? It seems to be used a lot, but it isn't applied consistently. Should players, clubs, etc., who represent Guadeloupe have this local flag of Guadeloupe – 
– or a French flag – 
? I'm not sure what the political ramifications may be of using the local flag that is commonly being applied. JohnnyPolo24 (talk) 20:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
It seems acceptable to apply the new Guadeloupe local flag (see GuadeloupeFlag.png) when refering to sports teams associated with Guadaloupe. This is due to the fact that if Guadeloupe were to play France or another French colony (such as Martinique) one would see two French flags, which would be visually confusing. Furthermore, one may be lead to believe that the Guadeloupe national soccer team is associated directly with France, which is incorrect because it consists of players from the island of Guadelope. Showing the Guadeloupe local flag is not a political message, but a mere confirmation that team France is not the same as team Guadeloupe. (Bennyj600 (talk) 19:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC))
[edit] Team Colours
The seems to be a difference in team colours between the English version of this page and the French version of this page. If you know which one is correct, please correct this error. (Bennyj600 (talk) 19:38, 22 March 2009 (UTC))
As shown by the Gold Cup telecasts, the French version is the correct one. Bmanphilly (talk) 12:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Just updated them. Bmanphilly (talk) 13:15, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Rename Guadeloupe Football team
The guadeloupe is not a nation and the football team is not a national football team, even though they play in some international tournaments. They call themselves "Sélection régionale de Guadeloupe". I think the page should be renamed "Guadeloupe Football team" or "Guadeloupe regional Football team". It aslso applies to French Guiana, Martinique and maybe others regional teams. Withenemies (talk) 15:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- I agree. Guadeloupe is an overseas territory of France, not a nation. They play in CONCACAF fixtures, but they are not a recognised FIFA member. Therefore, I think Guadeloupe football team is the best title. – PeeJay 13:58, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Guadeloupe football selection is the literal translation... Not sure what FIFA recognition has to do with defining a team as national, need a better definition otherwise you are going to run into some issues down the road. User:cabazap —Preceding undated comment added 02:14, 12 June 2011 (UTC).
