Somalia 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. Somalia advanced from the 2027 AFCON preliminary round on 31 March 2026 after two goalless draws with Mauritius. A 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory settled the tie and put the Ocean Stars into the next qualifying stage. That was progress in qualifying, not qualification for the AFCON finals or a continental title.

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.
