Bhutan are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Bhutan reached the semi-finals of the regional SAFF Championship in 2008. Their 4-0 friendly win over Montserrat on 30 June 2002, the day of the World Cup final, was documented in The Other Final; it was not a World Cup match. Bhutan did not qualify for the 2026 World Cup or 2027 Asian Cup.
