List of FIFA country codes
There are currently 211 FIFA members, each one with its unique country code.
The following codes refer to countries or dependent areas that are currently not affiliated with FIFA, but whose codes either appear in the FIFA results database, or are used regularly by confederation websites.
Ohene Djan
In January 1964, FIFA decided that the 16-team finals would be represented by 10 European teams, including hosts England, four Latin American (i.e. South America) teams and one team from the Central American and Caribbean region. This left just one place to be fought for by three continents: Africa, Asia and Oceania. Within a month, Ohene Djan, Ghana’s Director of Sports and also a member of the FIFA executives committee objected.
He sent a telegram to FIFA condemning the decision and calling it "pathetic". Ohene Djan challenged FIFA to reconsider the decision since it was unrealistic for Afro-Asian countries to go through the exercise, struggling through painful and expensive qualifying series to ultimately be offered one slot to fight for.
Tessema joined Djan to present Africa's case to FIFA, arguing that football in Africa had significantly improved over the years, however all efforts to revoke the decission in their favour proved futile. FIFA went on to organise the 1966 FIFA World Cup without an African representative. North Korea won the slot and they put up an impressive performance in the tournament.
Moreover, an African player from colonial Mozambique, Eusebio, who played for Portugal was the leading scorer at the tournament. 
FIFA revised its notes and decided that Africa should have one slot for the 1970 World Cup. Today, Africa has five slots in the Worldcup.
