Why is Switzerland SUI and Morocco MAR? World Cup scoreboard names explained

SUI for Switzerland: This abbreviation is derived from the French name for the country, "Suisse," which is one of Switzerland's four official languages. Because FIFA’s administrative history is deeply intertwined with French-speaking Switzerland (where the organisation is headquartered), the French-derived trigram was adopted for consistency. MAR for Morocco: The code "MAR" comes from the French name "Maroc," which remains widely used due to Morocco's historical and linguistic ties to France.
