Malawi Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or Africa Cup of Nations Title

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Malawi would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations — the top continental honor in the Africa (CAF) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
