A curious case: Malouda plays for French Guiana in this tournament and he has 83 games for France national team.

This has already happened in the past with Angloma (French international who played for Guadeloupe in Gold Cup '07) and Piquionne (French international who played for Martinique in Gold Cup '13).

French Guiana is not on FIFA's aegis and only participates in CONCACAF games and can not, for example, play qualifiers for World Cup. Therefore, it is not FIFA that decides anything about the games of this national team, so, the final decisions are for the American confederation.

@Pizzi_77 Yes it's little bit funny, he just played in this tournament against Honduras and then CONCACAF awarded Honduras a 3–0 win as a result, after the match had finished 0–0. He had previously represented France and did not meet eligibility rules
