Caribbean Football Union
Caribbean Football Union (eller CFU, på spansk: Unión Caribeña de Fútbol) er en sportsorganisation, som repræsenterer tredive nationale fodboldforbund i Caribien, der endvidere er medlemmer af FIFAs regionale konføderation CONCACAF. Den primære funktion er at arrangere turneringer for henholdsvis lands- og klubhold, der samtidig fungerer som kvalifikationsturneringer til CONCACAFs egne turneringer.
Organisationen blev stiftet i 1978 og det administrative hovedsæde ligger siden 2004 hos CONCACAFs præsidentens kontor i Port-of-Spain, Trinidad og Tobago (tidligere i Arouca). Den nuværende præsident for CFU siden 1986 er Jack Austin Warner (fra Trinidad og Tobago), som ligeledes er CONCACAFs præsident.
Organisationens samlede medlemsliste (pr. marts 2007) tæller de nationale fodboldforbund fra nedenstående 30 lande:

There are branches of olive and palm around the shield and above on the ribbon is the motto "Dios,Patria!, Libertad" ("God, Country, Freedom") and to amiable freedom. The blue is said to stand for liberty, red for the fire and blood of the independence struggle and the white cross symbolized that God has not forgotten his people. "Republica Dominicana". The Dominican flag was designed by Juan Pablo Duarte, father of the national Independence of Dominican Republic. The first dominican flag was sewn by a young lady named Concepción Bona, who lived across the street of El Baluarte, monument where the patriots gathered to fight for the independence, the night of February 27th, 1844.

Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
