The Cypriot national football team has never been selected for major international tournaments, but they do usually do well in qualifying competitions. However, they did very badly in qualifying for Euro 2024, losing all eight matches and conceding a total of 28 goals.They then took part in the UEFA Nations League, where they competed in the third strongest division. In six rounds, they won twice, beating Lithuania 1:0 and 2:1, and in the other games they lost to Romania 0:3 and 1:4, Kosovo 0:4 and 0:3. With six points, they came third in their group of four.
San Marino
The San Marino national team is a team of even more modest level. They have never qualified for major international competitions before, and in the history of qualifying tournaments they have not won a single victory, drawn three times and lost 159 games.
The 'glorious' hour for the Glorious broke in the last draw of the UEFA Nations League. They were in a group with Liechtenstein and Gibraltar, and they got seven points from four rounds. This meant they finished first in the group and got promoted to the UEFA Nations League.
