The Marshall Islands and Nauru do not have FIFA-affiliated national teams, so there are two UN member states that did not attempt to qualify. The only country with no FIBA-affiliated basketball team is Liechtenstein, so basketball is more universal than soccer by your metric. Something like track and field may be even more universal, but I’m not sure.
