In men's association football, national associations organise annual championships for their member clubs. The winners of those are declared champions of the country. Normally, as per tradition, the club is presented a title and the players and staff receive winners' medals.

Domestic champions usually gain access to continental leagues for the next season.

Current champions

Below are lists of the current or last known champions of the nations that are members, full or associate, of one of FIFA's six continental confederations: AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North and Central America and the Caribbean), CONMEBOL (South America), OFC (Oceania), and UEFA (Europe). The great majority of those nations are also members of FIFA itself; where this is not the case, this is noted.

Former, defunct, and inactive championships are not included.

AFC

In Palestine two top-level leagues coexist (the West Bank Premier League and the Gaza Strip Premier League), and thus the country has two champions.

Northern Mariana Islands currently uses the split-season format: "Spring" and "Fall", and thus championship is awarded twice within a calendar year.

Bonaire, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin and Sint Maarten do not have FIFA membership.

The championship of Montserrat has been inactive since c. 2017.[lower-greek 104]

CONMEBOL
