Why is Switzerland SUI and Morocco MAR? World Cup scoreboard names explained
Switerland are back in action at the World Cup on Thursday, which is sure to raise more questions over one of the more obscure scoreboard abbreviations at the tournament

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.
