Laos 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. Laos finished third at the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup after beating Brunei Darussalam 3-2; that competition is separate from the AFC Asian Cup. Their 2027 Asian Cup qualifying campaign ended with a 1-0 win over Nepal on 31 March 2026, but third place with six points was not enough to qualify.
