## History

As of 2020, Laos has not qualified for the FIFA World Cup, AFC Asian Cup or Asian Games. Since making its appearance at the 1995 Southeast Asian Games, it has competed in the inaugural 1996 AFF Championship, drawing against Vietnam 1–1 and winning against Cambodia 1–0. In 1995, it beat Brunei and Philippines and 2 years later in the 1997 Southeast Asian Games held in Jakarta, it beat Malaysia 1–0 and Philippines 4–1. In the qualifying preliminary rounds for the 2004 Asian Cup, it beat Bangladesh 2–1. In the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification, it qualified for the second round as a “lucky loser” after Guam and Nepal withdrew from the tournament, and proceeded to lose all its games (against Qatar, Iran and Jordan). It advanced to the second round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, after defeating Cambodia 8–6 on aggregate. In the second round, it lost to China 13–3 on aggregate. Its first appearance in a continental tournament was in 2014 when it played at the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup.
