Philippines's story so far

Philippines 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. The Azkals reached the AFF Championship semi-finals in 2010, 2012 and 2014, the period that established the Philippines as a rising Southeast Asian side. Their next landmark was an AFC Asian Cup debut in 2019, although they exited in the group stage.

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