Iceland 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: Euro 2016 quarterfinalists, famously beating England 2-1 along the way — achieved by a nation of roughly 330,000 people, the smallest ever to reach a World Cup (2018).
To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Iceland 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.
