Bicentennial Cup Tournament was an international association football competition, which took place in May 1976 in the United States.
The U.S. team of the time was not developed enough to compete against sides as powerful as Brazil, Italy and England, and hence Team America, consisting of players of various nationalities drawn from North American Soccer League clubs, carried the U.S. banner in the tournament.
The day after England played Team America, The Football Association, asked about the match's status, said it was regarded as "a training game" and that caps would not be awarded to the participating players.
The associations of both Brazil and Italy, on the other hand, listed their national sides' matches against Team America as full internationals.
FIFA has retroactively removed the official status of matches involving other multinational all-star selections, including England's matches against the Rest of Europe and the Rest of the World (although the FA continues to recognize these as official internationals).
