San Marino

  • Federazione Sammarinese Giuoco Calcio

  • Founded: 1931

  • Federation: UEFA

  • The enclave state of the Republic of San Marino first played international football in a European Championship qualifier against Switzerland in 1990. They have the worst record of any European national team having only ever drawn four matches and won one; against Liechtenstein in a friendly in 2004.
    Not all the records they hold are negative. They scored the fastest ever goal in a World Cup match when Davide Gualtieri latched on to Stuart Pearce's awful back pass and scored past a bewildered David Seaman during a qualifier in 1994. The time was just 8 seconds! England finally won the match 7-1 with 4 goals from Ian Wright but results elsewhere meant England were not going to the World Cup 1994 in America and Graham Taylor resigned 6 days later.
    The two teams are paired during World Cup qualifying 2022.
