• Notes - FIFA Trigram
  
  • FIFA trigrams are listed but other organizations may use different ones (Reuters, Olympics, ISO 3166-1)
  • Typically the first three letters of either the English or French name
    • Example:  Austria (Autriche) and Australia
    • Sometimes local name:  Nederland (Dutch)
  • Typically if countries share the same first three letters, order of admittance into FIFA usually takes precedence (not alphabetical)
    • Examples:
      • Belarus ('92), Belgium (1904), Belize ('86) - Belgium gets BEL as earliest FIFA member
      • Malawi ('67), Malaysia ('63), Maldives ('86), Mali ('62), Malta ('59) - all came after Malaya ('56) which got MAL but then merged with three other countries to form Malaysia which got new MAS trigram (MAL reserved)
      • Liberia ('64), Libya ('64) - all came after Lebanon (Liban) ('36) which got LIB but likely due to federation being split and FIFA membership frozen in 1985, restored membership in February 1987 may have resulted in new LBN trigram (LIB reserved)
      • Burkina Faso ('64), Burundi ('72) - all came after Burma ('52) which got BUR but renamed to Myanmar in 1989 and got new MYA trigram (BUR reserved)
  • FIFA trigrams are more flexible and changes are not catalogued officially, but in general:
    • BGR last used for Bulgaria in World Cup 1998 (now BUL as reflected by FIFA in August 2000) (ISO still uses BGR)
    • HRV last used for Croatia (Hrvatska) in World Cup 1998 (now CRO) (ISO still uses HRV)
    • HOL last used for Netherlands (Holland) in Euro 2000 (now NED as reflected by FIFA in August 2000) (ISO always used NED, Olympics used HOL from 1968-1988)
    • MOR last used for Morocco in World Cup 1998 (now MAR as reflected by FIFA in August 2000)
    • ROM last used for Romania in February 2006 (now ROU) - requested by government in February 2002 (approved by ISO but not reflected by FIFA until after 5-year transition period, August 2006))
  • Notable exceptions
    • IRA not used (Iran, Iraq) in FIFA, Olympics (removed "a"), ISO
    • MAU not used (Mauritania ('64), Mauritius ('62)) in FIFA, Olympics, ISO
    • MON assigned to Monaco which is not a FIFA member yet but has Olympic code MON since 1920 so probably reserved for them ahead of time (Mongolia ('98), Montenegro ('06), Montserrat ('96))
    • SLO not used (Slovakia ('94), Slovenia ('92)) but used for Olympics (Slovenia) and reserved by IOC for Slovenia (also uses SVN) if needed
    • NIG used by Niger ('64) despite joining FIFA after Nigeria ('60) but for Olympics NIG has used by Niger since '64, giving up its NGR to Nigeria at same time (who were using NGA); ISO does not use NIG
    • BAH used by The Bahamas ('66) despite joining FIFA after Bahrain ('64)
