Several sub-national "countries" have teams. The constituent countries of the UK, of the Netherlands, as well as the Faroe Islands all have teams that are eligible for the World Cup, if they qualify.

UEFA changed their rules a while back I think after Gibraltar joined, so only sovereign countries can join now. The existing members like Wales, England, Faroes etc are fine. I think Greenland are trying to join CONCACAF instead, but they also have members like French Guiana who aren’t in FIFA, so we currently don’t know if they’ll be allowed to participate or not.
