For all groups

  • Use the town name for "Group Name." If the name is two or more words, separate with spaces and use sentence case.
  • No spaces or underlines in "FC Unique Name"
  • Use caps to differentiate words for the "FC Unique Name"
CiudadDeMexico 
LosAngelesCA 
OxfordCoWI for a county group

For international groups

  • Use the local language for group name (location) and "FC Unique Name"
"Koeln" for Cologne, Germany. 
"Ciudad de Mexico" for Mexico City
  • Use country codes in "FC Unique Name." Use the 2-character (all caps) country codes unless the code is redundant.
