Still waiting for a first World Cup or continental title

Uzbekistan's story so far

Uzbekistan 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. Uzbekistan finished fourth at the 2011 Asian Cup after reaching the semi-finals and losing the third-place match 3-2 to Korea Republic. Their first World Cup finals appearance came in 2026 and ended with three defeats in Group K. Reaching a semi-final or making a World Cup debut is distinct from winning the continental or world title tracked here.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Uzbekistan would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the AFC Asian Cup — the top continental honor in the Asia (AFC) 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.
