AFC (Asia)
Due to the geographical size of Asia, the AFC is subdivided into five sub-federations:
West Asian Football Federation (WAFF) represents nations at the western extremity of the continent. The
WAFF has six members, but the AFC groups those non members into a single geographical region.
East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) represents nations generally agreed to constitute the north east.
Central and South Asian Football Federation (CESAFA) represents nations in central Asia and the Indian
subcontinent.
ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) represents nations from Southeast Asia, plus Australia
South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) represents nations from South Asia

CAF (Africa)
Due to the geographical size of Africa, CAF is divided into six regional federations:
Council of East and Central African Football Associations (CECAFA) represents nations generally regarded as
forming the regions of East Africa and some nations of Central Africa.
Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) represents nations generally regarded as forming
Southern Africa, as well as island states off the coast of Southern Africa.
Union of West African Football Associations (WAFU) one of two bodies that represent nations in West Africa.
Union of North African Federations (UNAF) represents nations regarded as forming North Africa.
Union des Fdrations du Football de l'Afrique Centrale (UNIFFAC) represents some of the nations that form
Central Africa.
Union du Football de l'Ouest Afrique one of two bodies that represent nations in West Africa.

1. The football federation of Monaco was one of the founder members of the NF-Board in 2001, but resigned from the organization in 2010
2. There has never been a "United Kingdom national football team" participating in recognized internationals, although three friendly matches
have been played under this name. A team representing the entire United Kingdom has only ever competed in the Olympic Games (most recently
in qualification for the 1972 Games) under the name "Great Britain"; otherwise, the UK is represented by separate teams for each of its constituent
countries
The Marshall Islands are the only sovereign nation state which has no national association football team with any
records. Southern Sudan is due to obtain full independence in July 2011 and the Southern Sudan Football
Association (S.S.F.A.) was established in 2011. The SSFA has neither yet established its national team or applied to
join FIFA, CAF or CECA.
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 [2] May 2008
This was the grounds for recent refusals to accept Zanzibar and Gibraltar as FIFA members.[3] However, FIFA has
been willing to make exceptions to this rule, as with the case of New Caledonia in 2004; this was on the grounds of
the distance of New Caledonia from its 'parent' nation, France.[3] Furthermore, an association of a dependency may
apply for membership if authorised by the association in its parent state.[4] These rules are specifically not applied
retroactively,[4] and 23 of FIFA's members are not internationally recognised sovereign nations.[5]
Kosovo
Northern Cyprus
In addition, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic had a team which played in the 1980s but has since been
inactive, whilst four further states with limited international recognition have never had an active football team:
Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia and Transnistria.
A variety of other national, separatist, sub-national and pseudo-national teams compete in football matches outside
of FIFA's jurisdiction.[3] In 2001, the N.F.-Board (Nouvelle Fdration-Board), was founded to promote
international football among sovereign nations, unrecognised nations, regions and stateless peoples that are not
members of FIFA, and to assist in their possible future membership of FIFA. However, the NF board does not
maintain a full list of its members. Twenty five different organisations were listed in their April 2010 rankings,[7] a
further two were not listed but participated in the 2010 VIVA World Cup,[8] whilst five more are listed as part of the
"Consejo Sudamericano de Nuevas Federaciones", which is the South American confederation of NF-Board.[9]
The nature of these other teams is heterogeneous: whilst some such as Catalonia or Tibet play semi-regularly, often
against FIFA member nations, others are much less active. For a full list of teams that have been documented, see the
list of non-national representative teams in men's football.
