Surely every country with a coastline has at least an island. Even Singapore has islands not on its main island.
edit: maybe not some of the smaller ones in the Caribbean?

But due to not having the correct type of soil, cannot host International FIFA matches which also means no FIFA qualification.

And these places have FIFA qualification but no UN membership:
American Samoa, Anguilla, Aruba, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Chinese Taipei, Cook Islands, Curacao, England, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guam, Hong Kong, Kosovo, Macau, Montserrat, New Caledonia, Northern Ireland, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Tahiti, Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Wales

I'm struggling to picture that little drop being able to cover the whole planet. Doesn't look big enough.
