For all groups

CiudadDeMexico 
LosAngelesCA 
EdmontonAB
DouarnenezFR
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. Because the country code for Germany is the same as for Delaware, country codes are not added to German cities.
MonterreyMX 
Hamburg (omit DE for German cities)
CiudadDeMexico (omit MX here)
  • Use the region name if necessary to distinguish between two groups with the same name
