FINLAND AND SAN MARINO AND A BIT MORE

Also, the match San Marino vs Slovenia in Maribor was the 100th ever international match of played by San Marino. So far the country has this international record:

Total Played	215	Won 3	Drawn 10	Lost 202	Goals For 39	GAgainst 846	−807

The San Marino Football Federation represents the smallest population of any UEFA member. The country is currently the lowest-ranked (210th) FIFA Affiliated national football team, having won three matches since their inception.

For their first World Cup qualifying campaign, San Marino were drawn in a group with England, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Turkey. The opening match resulted in a 10–0 defeat to Norway. The return match was less one-sided, finishing 2–0 to the Norwegians. A 4–1 defeat in Turkey saw San Marino score their first goal in a World Cup qualifier (also their first from open play), and a goalless draw against the same opposition on 10 March 1993 gave them their first-ever point. In their final qualifier against England, Davide Gualtiere scored the then-fastest goal in World Cup qualifying history after 8.3 seconds. However, San Marino went on to lose 7–1. San Marino finished the campaign with one point and conceded 46 goals in 10 matches.

On 20 March 2024, San Marino scored in four straight games for the first time in their history after taking a 1–0 lead against Saint Kitts and Nevis, eventually losing 3–1. On 24 March 2024, San Marino ended a 12-game losing run with a 0–0 draw against Saint Kitts.
