| First Game: | WIFA Pirates 5–4 Petrotrin Sports Club (Trinidad and Tobago; 17 January 2015)[1] |
The West Indies national football team is the team that represents the West Indies. It is not a member of FIFA, CFU or CONCACAF, but is a member of the N.F.-Board, an organisation for teams who are not members of FIFA. They were admitted to the N.F.-Board as a provisional member in 2013.[2]
The West Indies FA will use Caribbean players from all over the world who have not played with their national team and give them the opportunity to represent the West Indies and let them experience international football.
The West Indies FA or WIFA will initially be based in Trinidad and Tobago and were scheduled to play in 2014's Viva World Cup.[3] Unfortunately, due to the short timescale afforded them, they were unable to take the field.
There have been many attempts to put a West Indies football team together but in the past they mostly failed although there was the British Caribbean Football Association established in 1957 and played various matches as the select team from the Caribbean mostly against English opposition.
Re-imaged in 2013, the WIFA organisation will play at various levels and encompass all forms of association football. Although a regional squad has been formed, matches have yet to be played as the team head coach assesses the current crop of players.
Due to the nature of the organisation, players from across the region have the opportunity to participate on a world footballing stage where perhaps they wouldn't be offered that chance with their home nation.
| First Game: | WIFA Pirates 5–4 Petrotrin Sports Club (Trinidad and Tobago; 17 January 2015) |

WIFA will also host a Futsal team based out of London, UK.
WIFA have formed a group of executives, all of whom have been brought together, working in various fields, heading towards achieving the same goal.
