Asia (AFC) · No major trophy yet

Still waiting for a first World Cup or continental title

Myanmar's story so far

Myanmar 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. Myanmar, then competing as Burma, finished second in the five-team round-robin at the 1968 Asian Cup; there was no separate final match. They also won Asian Games football gold in 1966 and shared the 1970 gold with Korea Republic, honours separate from the Asian Cup. Their 2027 Asian Cup qualifying campaign ended without a finals place, despite a closing 2-1 win over Pakistan on 31 March 2026 and 12 points.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Myanmar would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup — the top continental honor in the Asia (AFC) 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.
