What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Finland would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship — the top continental honor in the Europe (UEFA) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
