The following article gives a list of association football confederations, sub-confederations and associations around the world. The sport's international governing body is FIFA, but those associations not affiliated with FIFA are also included in this article.
Most European, African, and Asian countries have two principal competitions: a more prestigious league which is typically a double round-robin tournament restricted to the elite clubs, and a cup which is a single-elimination tournament open to both the elite and lesser clubs.
There are currently 211 national associations which are members of FIFA. An additional 11 associations are full or associate members of a continental confederation, but not members of FIFA.

Map of the CAF's five subregional confederations. Out of 22 members, the transcontinental Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) hosts 10 CAF associations (green dots).
The football associations listed in this section are members of FIFA-affiliated confederations. They are listed by their official names registered with FIFA.
Beneath the national level, governance of football may be divided up into regional or territorial associations. Other non-national associations represent stateless populations, diasporas or micronations. Details of these are listed at non-FIFA international football.
