Bhutan at the World Cup
Bhutan have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup.
Trivia
- On the same day when the two strongest teams in the world played in the 2002 Final in Japan, a specially-arranged match between Bhutan and Montserrat — the two weakest teams in the world, was played in Bhutan. Montserrat, ranked 203rd, and Bhutan, ranked 202nd, were the lowest ranked countries in the world. It took the players five days for the trip from the Caribbean island of Montserrat to the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Bhutan won 'The Other Final' on 30 June 2002, 4-0 in front of a crowd of 15,000 which was more than double the population of Montserrat. After the match, the players got together and watched the 'real' World Cup final on television.
