Still waiting for a World Cup or continental title

Cambodia's story so far

Cambodia 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. Cambodia's best AFC Asian Cup finish remains fourth place in 1972, when they competed as Khmer Republic. They shared the 1973 President's Cup title with Myanmar, a separate honour rather than an Asian Cup title. Pakistan eliminated them from 2026 World Cup qualifying, 1-0 on aggregate; Sri Lanka then ended their 2027 Asian Cup campaign on penalties.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Cambodia would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup — the top continental honor in the Asia (AFC) region. Future opportunities depend on the eligibility and qualification rules for each edition. The current wait does not imply that a completed tournament can still be won.
