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 have never reached the AFCON finals or a World Cup, and security concerns have often forced the Ocean Stars to play home qualifiers abroad. Their recent 2027 AFCON preliminary tie was a breakthrough of resilience: after two 0-0 draws with Mauritius, Somalia won the shoot-out 4-2 to advance.
