FIFA assigns a three-letter country code (more properly termed a trigram or trigraph) to each of its member and non-member countries. These are the official codes used by FIFA and its continental confederations (Asian Football Confederation, AFC, Confederation of African Football, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, Oceania Football Confederation, OFC and UEFA) as name abbreviations of countries and dependent areas, in official competitions.

FIFA, IOC and ISO differences

For most countries, FIFA codes are the same as both the List of IOC country codes, International Olympic Committee country codes used for the Olympic Games and the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, ISO 3166 country codes. When these two are different, FIFA usually chooses one of the two, and for a few countries FIFA uses a distinct code. Codes that differ from the FIFA code are coloured in light red. There are also some countries that are affiliated to FIFA and not to the International Olympic Committee, and vice versa: * FIFA affiliates and non IOC members (13): ** Anguilla ** Curaçao ** England ** Faroe Islands ** Gibraltar ** Macau ** Montserrat ** New Caledonia ** Northern Ireland ** Scotland ** French Polynesia, Tahiti ** Turks and Caicos Islands ** Wales * IOC members and non FIFA affiliates (8): ** United Kingdom, Great Britain ** Kiribati ** Marshall Islands ** Federated States of Micronesia, Micronesia ** Monaco ** Nauru ** Palau ** Tuvalu
