Cyprus 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. Cyprus have not reached World Cup or European Championship finals. They beat Spain 3-2 in Larnaca during EURO 2000 qualifying in September 1998, a national-team qualifying result rather than a club achievement. Their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign ended fourth in Group H with eight points, without a finals place.

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Cyprus would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship — the top continental honor in the Europe (UEFA) 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.
