San Marino and Cyprus return to action on Tuesday when they square off in a friendly at the San Marino Stadium. This will be the first meeting between the two nations since September 2019, when Temur Ketsbaia’s side secured a 4-0 victory in the European Championship qualifiers.
San Marino were left empty-handed yet again as they suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Slovakia in a friendly on Wednesday.
In a one-sided affair at Wiener Neustadt Arena, Tomás Rigo, Tomás Suslov, Lukás Haraslín and David Strelec all found the back of the net to inspire the Falcons to a comfortable victory.
With their last win dating back to 2004, San Marino are currently the lowest-ranked side in the latest FIFA world rankings (210).
