The West Indies national football team is the team that represents the West Indies. It is not a member of FIFA, CFU or CONCACAF, however they were affiliated with the N.F.-Board, an organisation for teams who are non-affiliated with FIFA, until 2017 when the status of membership was abolished. The team is organised by the West Indies Football Association (WIFA), and its president is James Baird.
The West Indies team uses Caribbean players from all over the world, of whom have not played with their own national team, and gives them the opportunity to represent the West Indies and let them experience international football.
The team was scheduled to play in the 2014 Viva World Cup, however due to the crisis and breakup of the N.F.-Board, as well as its subsequent failure to organise the tournament, it was never played.
