Saw that. Will boost my quiz night questions. 

South korea the biggest surprise there!

Which European team has the longest European championship qualification drought?

Also, which country played at the world cup the least recently? 

Israel? 

Wales?  

Neither 

Norway?

Scotland?

So.. just confirming the way I'm reading that - this is droughts, so would assume that said country has qualified before, and not since:

1) Would have to be Norway having last qualified in 2000 - I'm considering the countries before as the continuations that FIFA regards as though as well (Soviet Union = Russia, Yugoslavia = Serbia, Czechoslovakia = Czechia)
2) European country that has qualified for the World Cup, but the least recently...  Hungary and Northern Ireland both last qualified in 1986 - but now having re-read, I take you're asking for worldwide? Looks like another tie between Indonesia and Cuba back in 1938.

yer I also question ?
It quotes International trophy.
Ethiopia ? what have they won ?
Sudan ?
are they looking at what they won in their region something as such ? but its not International.

You might as well just list countries who have qualified for Euros since its start who are in a drought ? a long drought haha

Then the same re the WCup.

Israel have never qualified for the Euros AFAIK, and the last international trophy they’ve won is the 1964 Asian Cup when they were still AFC members.

Yep - Ethiopia, Sudan, Congo have all won the African Cup back in the 50s/60s.
Their region is international

OK thanks that makes sense re them.

I thought the question was which Euro nation had the longest period of time between qualifying for Euros and also hadn't played in a world cup recently?

I believe Norway is the answer having lady qualified in 2000 but not since.

There are actually 2 teams that participated at the world cup in 1938 but have not since. Nazi Germany isn't an answer either. Neither team is European. 

Indonesia and Cuba?

Yes

I might have to go through and see which country has the longest drought of not qualifying for ANYTHING (Continental Cups or World Cups). That would effectively rule out South America though, as they all qualify for Copa America.

For all 5 other confederations, the longest drought for qualifying for a second "Major" tournament (all Continental Cups and World Cups)
OFC: Cook Islands - last qualified OFC Nations Cup 2000
AFC: Bangladesh - last qualified AFC Asian Cup 1980
CAF: Mauritius - last qualified CAF Cup of Nations 1974
CONCACAF: St Vincent and the Grenadines - last qualified CONCACAF Gold Cup 1996*
UEFA: Norway - last qualified UEFA Euro 2000

CONCACAF Gold Cup has only been running since 1991. All pre-1991 CONCACAF World Cup qualified nations have since competed in the Gold Cup 

Seeing the WC is 1938, I'm sure some continental stuff will have some long droughts. Also perhaps teams who never qualified but came amazingly close once or twice would be interesting. 

Ooof that would be good one too.

So just clarifying on my above stats. This means that to be considered a 'drought' they had to have qualified for ANY Major Tournament at least once, and the drought is since their last appearance in ANY of the listed tournaments:

• FIFA World Cup
• UEFA European Championship
• CONCACAF Gold Cup
• AFC Asian Cup
• OFC Nations Cup
• CAF Cup of Nations

Surprised nobody has mentioned Korea haven't won a trophy in ages pretty amazing that 

Hey i did haha

Their forum must be chaos imagine qatar winning it twice before Korea 

That's where the real Squid Game started
