LIST OF FIFA COUNTRY CODES

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.
