List of FIFA country codes

Categories: Football (soccer) related lists | Country codes | Lists of abbreviations

FIFA assigns a three-letter code (dubbed FIFA Trigramme) to each of its member and non-member countries. These are the official codes used by FIFA and its continental confederations (AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA) as name abbreviations of countries and dependent areas, in official competitions.

FIFA and IOC differences

Although most FIFA codes are the same as the International Olympic Committee country codes used for the Olympic Games, there are still some discrepancies:

FIFA IOC ISO
Antigua and Barbuda ATG ANTATG
Bahrain BHR BRNBHR
Barbados BRB BARBRB
Belize BLZ BIZBLZ
British Virgin Islands VGB IVBVGB
Burkina Faso BFA BURBFA
Central African Republic CTA CAFCAF
El Salvador SLV ESASLV

Guinea-Bissau GNB GBSGNB
Indonesia IDN INAIDN
Iran IRN IRIIRN
Latvia LVA LATLVA
Libya LBY LBALBY
Malawi MWI MAWMWI
Netherlands Antilles ANT AHOANT
Palestine PAL PLEPSE
U.S. Virgin Islands VIR ISVVIR

There are also some countries that are affiliated to FIFA and not to the International Olympic Committee, and vice-versa:

Also note that currently FIFA has 207 members while the IOC has 202. This is partially because England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland compete as "Great Britian" in the Olympic Games, and that England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have seperate football associations.
