Chinese Taipei 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. Competing as the Republic of China, Chinese Taipei won Asian Games football gold in 1954 and 1958, then finished third at the 1960 AFC Asian Cup and fourth in 1968. They have not appeared at the Asian Cup finals since 1968 or qualified for the senior men's World Cup finals. Their 2026 World Cup campaign ended in the second qualifying round. Asian Games gold is distinct from an AFC Asian Cup title.
