List of FIFA country codes facts for kids
FIFA is the main organization that runs international football (soccer) around the world. To make things easier, FIFA gives a special three-letter code to each country that is a member. Think of these codes like nicknames for countries, but for football!
These codes are officially called trigrams or trigraphs. They are used by FIFA and its big groups of football teams from different parts of the world. These groups are called confederations, like the AFC (for Asia), CAF (for Africa), CONCACAF (for North and Central America), CONMEBOL (for South America), OFC (for Oceania), and UEFA (for Europe). These codes help everyone quickly know which country is playing in official football matches and tournaments.
