Macau 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. Macau were runners-up at the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup, losing the final 1-0 to Nepal. That competition is separate from the AFC Asian Cup. Their 2027 Asian Cup qualifying bid ended in September 2024 when Brunei Darussalam won their preliminary play-off 4-0 on aggregate; reaching a later qualifying round would not itself have meant reaching the finals.
