Samoa 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. Samoa have appeared at three OFC Nations Cups: 2012, 2016 and 2024. All three campaigns ended in the group stage. The consecutive 2012 and 2016 qualifications were an early breakthrough; their 2024 return left a first knockout-stage appearance as the next continental target.
