Still waiting for a first World Cup or continental title

Lithuania's story so far

Lithuania 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. Lithuania won 3-0 away to Romania in September 2008 during qualification for the 2010 World Cup. That was a qualifying-match victory, not a World Cup finals appearance. Their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign ended fifth in Group G with three points, outside the qualifying and play-off places.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Lithuania 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.
