Seychelles 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. Seychelles won football gold at the 2011 Indian Ocean Island Games, a separate regional honour rather than an AFCON title. Their 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign ended in the preliminary round in March 2026: after a goalless first leg, they lost 2-1 to Lesotho in the return match and on aggregate.

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Seychelles would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations — the top continental honor in the Africa (CAF) region. Future opportunities depend on the eligibility and qualification rules for each edition. The current wait does not imply that a completed tournament can still be won.
