San Marino National Football Team

Head coach: Giampaolo Mazza
Captain: Andy Selva
Top scorer: Andy Selva
FIFA ranking: 195

The San Marino national football team is the national football team of San Marino, controlled by the San Marino Football Federation. The team has enjoyed very little success, due to the tiny population.

The first official game played by a San Marino team was a 0-4 defeat in a European Championships qualifier to Switzerland in 1990. Previously, a San Marino side had lost 0-1 to a Canadian Olympic team in 1986, but this was not an official match.

San Marino has only ever won one international game, a 1-0 win over Liechtenstein in a friendly in 2004. Andy Selva got the winner.

Despite the lack of success at international level, San Marino holds the record for the fastest ever goal in World Cup history. In a World Cup qualifier against England in 1993, Davide Gualtieri scored after just 8.3 seconds, though the team went on to lose 7-1.

Arguably the best performance by San Marino came in another World Cup qualifier on 10 March 1993, when they held Turkey to a 0-0 draw in Serravalle. The worst defeat inflicted on the team was a 13-0 defeat to Germany in the qualifying to Euro 2008, on September 6, 2006.
