The following codes are obsolete because a country has ceased to exist, changed its name, changed its code, or has become part of another country.
Although most FIFA codes are the same as the International Olympic Committee country codes at the Olympic Games, there are still some changes between them:

Comparison of IOC, FIFA, and ISO 3166 country codes
This table compares IOC, FIFA, and ISO 3166 country codes.
Codes are shown with their last year of use.
ISO 3166
ISO 3166 is a standard made by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and it uses short codes to name all countries and some other places. People from all over the world can use the same codes; this is helpful because different languages have different names for many countries. For example, the country English-speakers call "Spain" is called "España" by Spanish-speakers. The ISO 3166 has three codes for Spain: ES, ESP, and 724. No other country has any of these codes.
Dolores Hidalgo
Dolores Hidalgo is the name of a city and the municipality around it in the north-central part of the Mexican state of Guanajuato. The full name is Dolores Hidalgo Cuna de la Independencia Nacional, which is Spanish for "Dolores Hidalgo Cradle of National Independence".
It is at , at about 1,980 meters (6,480 feet) above sea level. In the census of 2005 the city had a population of 54,843 people. The larger area of the municipality had 134,641 inhabitants. The city is directly in the middle of the municipality, which is 1,590 km² (613.9 sq mi) in size. It also includes many small communities, the largest of which is Río Laja.
Before Mexico became independent, the city was a small town known simply as Dolores. It was here that Father Miguel Hidalgo spoke his famous cry for the independence of Mexico (the "Grito de Dolores"). This was in the early hours of September 16, 1810, in front of his parish church. After Mexico achieved independence, the town was renamed "Dolores Hidalgo" in his honor. The central square of the town, in front of Father Hidalgo's historic church, is a popular tourist spot.
Today Dolores Hidalgo is known primarily for its ceramics industry. It givese work to well over half the city's population. The inexpensive and mass-produced ceramic products are sold throughout Latin America and the United States.
Fans of ranchera and popular music visit Dolores Hidalgo for the tomb of José Alfredo Jiménez. He was one of the country's most beloved singers and songwriters. He is buried in the town cemetery.
Footballer Adolfo "El Bofo" Bautista was born here.

General officer
A general officer is an officer who is at a high military rank, usually in the army, and in some places, the air force. "General" is used in many countries around the world, and when a country uses a different word, there is another title that is of equal rank. Admiral is the corresponding rank in a navy.
Usually an army has more than one "general officer" rank, and usually "general" is the highest of the general officer ranks.

Dave Sudbury wrote a song about "The King of Rome". The song is also about Charlie Hudson. It says that "On the day of the big race a storm blew in. A thousand birds were swept away and never seen again". That shows how dangerous birds races can be.

Brian McNeill was another finalist at the competition. He said:
The King of Rome was head and shoulders above every other song sung on the night, and should have won.
McNeill also sang the song. A live recording is on "Live and Kicking". That is a record McNeil made in 2000. He recorded it with Iain MacKintosh.
The band Half Man Half Biscuit also played the song. But they never put it on one of their records.
The words of the song have been made into a book. The book has 32 pages. It has drawings by Hans Saefkow.
