The British Caribbean Football Association were a football association formed in January 1957. The BCFA was formed having witnessed the success of the West Indies Cricket team in the 1950s and their defeat of England during the decade. The BCFA was not technically a West Indies team as players were also selected from British Guiana who were not members of the West Indies Federation The six inaugural members were: * (joined FIFA in 1968) * (joined FIFA in 1988 as Guyana) * (joined FIFA in 1978) * (joined FIFA in 1962) * (joined FIFA in 1988) * (joined FIFA in 1964) None of the associated FA's were members of FIFA at the time of the formation of the BCFA. ==Crest== The British Caribbean Football Association supported a design competition and the winning crest was designed by Andy Worrell, a Trinidad oilfield worker. The Jamaican Gleaner described the crest thus: "It show flags of the West Indies Nation and the Mother Country, along with tropical scenery, typical of Caribbean waters, palm trees, birds and sun. At the top are eleven stars which serve a double purpose—representing the eleven players of the team or the eleven territories in the Association including British Guiana. All this is bounded by a gold chain linking the territories in the Association. The competition was open to residents in the West Indies and British Guiana." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British Caribbean Football Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
