Sint Maarten

 

Ilounga Pata (TOP Oss, Netherlands)
vs. Saint Kitts and Nevis (1:0) | CONCACAF Nations League | 2023 in Sint Maarten

I finally got my hands on a shirt of Sint Maarten, one of the few CONCACAF members I was missing to date. While Sint Maarten is not a member of FIFA, yet, they are a full member of the Caribbean Football Union CFU and the North American Confederation CONCACAF. As such, they are playing in the Nations League, where they remarkably beat full FIFA member Saint Kitts and Nevis in 2023. The only goalscorer in that match was the defender Ilounga Pata, who's name and number I got printed on this shirt for some reason. Funnily, Pata is now playing at Sheriff Tiraspol in Transnistria, a club I have visited in the past.

The shirt itself came straight from Admiral and set me back around 50$ including shipping. It is not the most spectacular shirt, but is actually nicer in the flesh than the pics do it justice.
