Do Suriname, Guyana, French Guyana not have enough interest to field a football team? From what I understand, these nations are culturally much closer to the caribbean than to the rest of south america. I think they once were colonies from uk, france and netherlands, while the current conmebol nations were spanish/portuguese colonies. This is still reflected by the languages today. Afaik the main sport in guyana at least is cricket, while many good suriname football players also are eligible for netherlands (and in the past have chosen the netherlands over suriname, according to wikipedia edgar davids, seedorf and hasselbaink were born in suriname). Same for french guyana and france I suppose. So they might essentially water down the niveau of the competition, while probably not being financially attractive inclusions either. | ||

That can explain the Cricket popularity and lack of football insterest, the same that India xD Surimane and Guyana are CONCACAF countries anyway, they play qualifiers for Golden Cup. | ||
