Tonga's story so far

Tonga 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. Tonga's football program operates in the shadow of the country's rugby tradition and has never reached an OFC Nations Cup or World Cup finals. Their 2010 friendly win over Fiji, a 2-1 comeback led by two Penateti Feke penalties, remains one of the national team's memorable senior results.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Tonga would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the OFC Nations Cup — the top continental honor in the Oceania (OFC) region.
