Serbia Trophy History | Still Waiting for a World Cup or UEFA European Championship Title

Serbia's story so far

Serbia 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. Best result (as independent Serbia): has not advanced past the World Cup group stage; predecessor Yugoslavia reached the semifinal twice (1930, 1962).

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Serbia would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship — the top continental honor in the Europe (UEFA) region. Both remain fully open: there's no ranking or seeding that rules a team out permanently, only qualification and results on the pitch.
