As of March 2022, FIFA counts up 211 national football
associations affiliated,
New Caledonia was admitted in
2004, during
the FIFA Centennial celebrations, but the newest member are Comoros,
and Timor-Leste [This is the
official short-form name in English], which joined
the football family during the 55th FIFA
Congress held in Marrakech, Morocco. [South
Sudan and Kosovo
later joined FIFA in 2012 and 2016, respectively.]
Thus the FIFA is the third world's biggest sporting
organization (by members) just after the International Volley-Ball
Federation (218 members)
and the International Association
of Athletics Federations (IAAF)
which has in turn 210 members.
