Incoming Teams
As of December 2024, FIFA comprises 211 member associations across six continental confederations.
While there are no official announcements regarding new member associations joining FIFA in the immediate future, some regions and territories have expressed interest in gaining membership. Notably:
- Greenland: In May 2024, Greenland applied to join CONCACAF, the governing body for soccer in North and Central America and the Caribbean. If approved, Greenland would become the 42nd member of CONCACAF, marking a significant step in its ambitions to compete at a higher level in international football.
It’s important to note that the process of becoming a FIFA member involves meeting specific criteria, including infrastructure standards, governance structures, and active participation in regional competitions. The timeline for acceptance can vary, and there are no guarantees of new members joining within a specific timeframe.
