TheComité Territorial de Football de Saint-Barthélemy (English:Territorial Football Committee of Saint-Barthélemy) is the governing body ofassociation football inSaint Barthélemy. The association was founded in 1994.[2] In 2019 the committee announced that it was seeking membership inCONCACAF and theCaribbean Football Union for the first time.[3] As of the September 2019 elections, the president of the association is Zouhir Boubakeur and the vice-president is French footballing legendRobert Pires.[4]
Unlike otheroverseas collectivities which are affiliated with theFrench Football Federation (FFF), the Comité Territorial de Football de Saint-Barthélemy was aligned with theFootball League of Guadeloupe,[3] an Overseas Collectivity from which Saint Barthélemy voted to secede and form a separate Collectivity in 2003.[5] However, the CTFSB separated from the Guadeloupean association as a required step in becoming a member of theCaribbean Football Union andCONCACAF.[6][7] They have since been receiving support from the FFF.[8]
