The Martinique national football team (French: Équipe de Martinique de football) represents the French overseas department and region of Martinique in international football. The team is controlled by the Ligue de Football de la Martinique (English: Martinique Football League), a local branch of French Football Federation (French: Fédération Française de Football). The association is not a member of the world governing body FIFA. On 7 August 2010, the team adopted the nickname Les Matinino, which pays tribute to the history of the island.[2][3]
