Names for association football

In the English-speaking world, association football is often abbreviated to "football" in regions where it is the popular sport of the football family, but often abbreviated to "soccer" in regions where it is not the most popular sport of the football family. This creates conflict in regions that play other football sports (with rugby union and rugby league being notable examples).
