Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, have not reached AFCON or World Cup finals. Their regional COSAFA Cup results include third place in 2016 and 2021, with other semi-final appearances in 1999, 2002 and 2003. Eritrea eliminated them 4-1 on aggregate in the 2027 AFCON preliminary round in March 2026, before the qualifying group stage.

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Eswatini would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations — the top continental honor in the Africa (CAF) region.
