Wales 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. Wales reached the Euro 2016 semi-finals after beating Belgium 3-1 in Lille, their best European tournament run. The Dragons also reached the 1958 World Cup quarter-finals, where Pelé scored Brazil's winner, and returned to the World Cup in 2022 after a 64-year wait.
