    Well, how about the Netherlands Antilles - or is that called something else now?

    Curacao (spelling??) I think it's called now.

    Bravo BFR!
    The final FIFA country not in the UN
    Hats off to you sir!

    Last Year
    Curacao went to being a constituent country with Sint Maarten - Aruba had done this 20 years ago.
    The other three bits of Bonaire Sint Eustatius and Saba became municipalities of the Netherlands

    Palestane and Catalonia are not in the UN but are members of FIFA (Probably.)

    Nope

    Catalonia isn't a member of FIFA. It has no standing other than an unofficial one - despite being able to field a side that would probably be in the top ten in the world:

    GK - Valdes
    DEF - Navarro
    DEF - Pique
    DEF - Puyol
    DEF - Capdevila
    DM - Busquets
    CM - Xavi
    CM - Fabregas
    STR - Sergio Garcia
    STR - Tamudo
    STR - Bojan

    That would be why Palestine was called by Urban and is listed above, then!

    Indigenous support for an independent Catalonia is falling steadily - currently Political Parites supporting full independance represent only 11% of the Catalan vote. A long way from FIFA-dom, I imagine.
