Faroe Islands 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.

Their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign included home wins over Montenegro, 4-0, and Czechia, 2-1, but ended third in Group L with 12 points and no finals place. These were qualifying results, not finals appearances.
