You won't believe it, but San Marino—the world's lowest-ranked team—just made history with their first-ever away win! 🎉⚽️

In a thrilling display of determination and skill, San Marino—the team often dubbed the worst in the world—has achieved what many thought was impossible. On November 18, 2024, they secured a monumental 3-1 victory against Liechtenstein, marking not only their first away win but also a triumphant promotion to the Nations League Group C. This historic moment has sent ripples through the football community, proving that underdogs can rise to the top in the most dramatic of fashions.

San Marino's journey has been nothing short of a fairy tale. With a history punctuated by losses and draws, the team has frequently found themselves at the bottom of international rankings. However, that narrative took a breathtaking turn when they rallied from behind during the match against Liechtenstein. Their ability to score three goals—an unprecedented feat for the nation—showed that hard work, grit, and unity can transform hopeful aspirations into reality.

Historically, San Marino has struggled to make their mark on the international football stage, often considered a punching bag for more formidable teams. But this recent win has sparked a surge of hope among their players and fans alike. Their promotion to the third tier of the Nations League means they will face new challenges and opponents, which could ultimately enhance their visibility and performance in international football.

As the dust settles on this momentous victory, it's worth reflecting on the fact that San Marino's last away win before this was over 20 years ago, which makes their recent triumph even more incredible. Plus, did you know that they are set to compete in the next Nations League matches? This team is on the rise, and who knows—perhaps their underdog story is just getting started!
