Nepal 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. Nepal won the inaugural AFC Solidarity Cup in 2016, beating Macau 1-0 in the final in Kuching. The Solidarity Cup was a separate AFC competition, not a South Asian regional championship or an AFC Asian Cup title. Their 2027 Asian Cup qualifying campaign ended without qualification after a closing 1-0 defeat by Laos on 31 March 2026.
