San Marino national football team results

The San Marino Stadium, formerly known as Stadio Olimpico, is used as the home stadium for the San Marino national football team.

The San Marino national football team's first official match took place on 14 November 1990 against Switzerland.[1] Previously, unofficial matches had taken place against the Canada U-23 team in 1986 and a series of matches at the 1987 Mediterranean Games against Lebanon, Turkey and Syria.[2] These matches took place prior to the nation's affiliation with FIFA.[3] San Marino has not qualified for the finals of a major international football tournament. Andy Selva is the team's top scorer with eight goals.[citation needed]

San Marino has lost all but 12 of the more than 200 matches they have played, winning only twice. Both of their victories so far have come against Liechtenstein. The first victory occurred in a friendly match on 28 April 2004 and the second – 20 years later and their only competitive win – occurred in the UEFA Nations League on 5 September 2024. Both games ended 1–0.[4][5] They have drawn 10 matches (including a draw in an unofficial match against Lebanon).

As of July 2024, San Marino are ranked 210th and last in the FIFA World Rankings.[6] Their highest international rank achieved was 118th in September 1993.[7]
