Map of the World with the six confederations.

Current members of UAFA

FIFA members are eligible to enter the FIFA World Cup and matches between them are recognized as

official international matches. Based on their match results over the previous four-year period, the FIFA

World Rankings, published monthly by FIFA, compare the relative strengths of the national teams. Nation

teams who are members (full or associate) of their confederation, but do not have membership of FIFA, ar

able to compete in confederation championships, but their matches are not full internationals.

The six confederations are:

Asia – Asian Football

Confederation (AFC)

Africa – Confédération Africaine

de Football (CAF)

Additionally 22 nations in

Africa and Asia belong to

the Union of Arab Football

Associations (UAFA) in

addition to their respective

regional confederations.

North and Central America and the Caribbean –

Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean

Association Football (CONCACAF)

South America – Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol

(CONMEBOL)

Oceania – Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)Europe – Union of European Football Associations (UEFA)

FIFA runs the World Cup as a tournament for national teams to find the world champion. Each

confederation also runs its own championship to find the best team from among its members:

AFC – Asian Cup

CAF – Africa Cup of Nations

CONCACAF – CONCACAF Gold Cup

CONMEBOL – Copa América

OFC – OFC Nations Cup

National teams not affiliated to FIFA confederations

7/18/2019 List of Men's National Association Football Teams - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/list-of-mens-national-association-football-teams-wikipedia-the-free 7/15

These national football teams are affiliated to neither FIFA, nor a continental confederation. The teams are

not eligible to enter the FIFA World Cup or their continental confederation championships. Teams who are

affiliated with FIFA may not compete against these sides without FIFA's prior permission. [3]

This section lists:

6 teams representing sovereign states with full international recognition.

6 teams representing states with limited international recognition.

It also discusses the status of football in other fully or limited recognized sovereign states which have neve

had active national football teams.

Unaffiliated sovereign states

The football teams that represent the following sovereign states are not members of FIFA or their local

confederation:

F.S. Micronesia1

Monaco1, 2

Nauru

Palau4

United Kingdom3

Vatican City

The Marshall Islands is the only sovereign nation state which has no recorded national association football

team.

1: Member of the FIFA Small Nations Working Group[4]

2: The football federation of Monaco was one of the founder members of the NF-Board in 2001, but resigned from the

organization in 2010[5] Monaco joined ConIFA on its formation in 2013[6]

3: The United Kingdom national football team has participated in three friendly matches only. A team representing the entire

United Kingdom has only ever competed in the Olympic Games (most recently in the 2012 Games) under the name "Great

Britain"; otherwise, the UK is represented by separate teams for each of its constituent countries

4: The Palau team has been inactive since 1998. It joined as an associate member of OFC in 2002, but this membership expired

In 2013 the Palau Football Association confirmed an intention to apply for membership of the East Asian Football

Federation.[7]

Unaffiliated states with limited international recognition

Two states with limited international recognition are full members of FIFA and are listed above: Palestine

and the Republic of China, the latter under the name "Chinese Taipei" due to the objections of the

government of the People's Republic of China. Six further states with limited international recognition hav

active teams which are not currently affiliated with FIFA or their local confederation:

Abkhazia

Kosovo

Nagorno-Karabakh

Northern Cyprus

South Ossetia

Western Sahara (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic)

Both Kosovo and Northern Cyprus were members of FIFA's recent unaffiliated nations working group, [4]

though the activities of this are currently suspended.[8] FIFA have granted permission for affiliated nations

to compete against Kosovo in friendly matches since January 2014.[9] The Sahrawi Arab Democratic

Republic team had played just one game between 1988 and 2011, and was most recently active during

2012. [10][11]

The three states with limited international recognition in the Caucasus - Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh and

South Ossetia - first competed in matches against each other in 2012 and 2013.[12][13] All three participate

in the 2014 ConIFA World Football Cup, the first tournament organised by ConIFA. [14][15][16] These sides

remain unrecognized by FIFA,[17] but are, along with Northern Cyprus, members of ConIFA.

Others

FIFA's entry criteria state that:

Any association which is responsible for organising and supervising football in its country may

become a member of FIFA. In this context, the expression 'country' shall refer to an

independent state recognised by the international community.

—FIFA, Fifa Statutes May 2008

The main condition for joining FIFA is thus general international recognition as a nation state and

membership of the UN.[18] However, this rule is not applied retroactively,[19] and 24 of FIFA's members a

not internationally recognised sovereign nations.[20]

Non-sovereign associations may still join FIFA in specific circumstances. In particular, an exception is

made for associations representing a dependency, which may apply for membership if authorised by the

association in its parent state.[8][19] Most recently, this was allowed for New Caledonia in 2004; this was o

the grounds of the distance of New Caledonia from its 'parent' nation, France.[21] By contrast, both Zanzib

and Gibraltar – who would compete in the same confederation as their parent state – have had their

applications to join FIFA rejected. [21]

A variety of other national, separatist, sub-national and pseudo-national teams compete in football matches

outside of FIFA's jurisdiction.[21] In 2001, the N.F.-Board (Nouvelle Fédération-Board), was founded to

promote international football among sovereign nations, unrecognised nations, regions and stateless people

that are not members of FIFA, and to assist in their possible future membership of FIFA. A total of 37

7/18/2019 List of Men's National Association Football Teams - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/list-of-mens-national-association-football-teams-wikipedia-the-free 9/15

nations were listed on the N.F. Board's website as of August 2013, [22] although at least one of these

(Monaco) is no longer a member. [23] In 2013, a new organisation, the Confederation of Independent

Football Associations (ConIFA), was founded to carry on this work, with a number of its members having

previously been affiliated to the NF-Board. ConIFA was founded with the aim of regularising non-FIFA

international football, by having a two-year international tournament cycle, with the ConIFA World

Football Cup in even numbered years, and continental tournaments in odd-numbered years.[24]

The nature of these other teams is heterogeneous: whilst some such as Catalonia, Galicia or Tibet playsemi-regularly, often against FIFA member nations, others are much less active. For a full list of teams tha

have been documented, see the list of non-national representative teams in men's football.

Former national football teams

These national teams no longer exist due to the dissolution of the nation or territory that they represented.
