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.

Their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign ended third in Group D with seven points, without qualification.

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. 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.
The next chapter is the 2026/27 Nations League: Iceland took eight points from their first four Group C4 matches. Iceland Now follows the current team, Orri, the latest results and the November fixtures.
