Namibia 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. Namibia earned their first AFCON finals match victory by beating Tunisia 1-0 on 16 January 2024, during the 2023 edition. Their first knockout appearance ended with a 3-0 round-of-16 defeat by Angola later that month. They also won the regional COSAFA Cup in 2015, beating Mozambique 2-0 in the final; that is separate from an AFCON title.
