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.

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 208 members while the IOC has 204. This is because England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland compete as Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Olympic Games.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have separate football associations.
