Cuba Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or CONCACAF Gold Cup Title

Cuba's story so far

Cuba 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. Best result: World Cup quarterfinalists in 1938, their only appearance, after a replay win over Romania in the first round.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Cuba would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the CONCACAF Gold Cup — the top continental honor in the North & Central America, Caribbean (CONCACAF) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
