In San Marino [[association football|football]] is the most popular sport. [[Basketball]] and [[volleyball]] are also popular. The three sports have their own federations, the [[San Marino Football Federation]], the [[San Marino Basketball Federation]] and the [[Federazione Sammarinese Pallavolo|San Marino Volleyball Federation]].

The [[San Marino national football team]] has had little success, being made up of part-timers. The team has never qualified for a major tournament, and has recorded only three wins in the more than 25 years of its history. The first two,1–0 victories over [[Liechtenstein national football team|Liechtenstein]]; the first came in a 2004 friendly, and the second, their first competitive victory, came during the group stage of the [[2024-25 UEFA Nations League]].<ref>{{cite news|title=San Marino celebrate first win for 20 years with 1-0 victory over Liechtenstein|work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5357123/2024/09/05/san-marino-win-liechtenstein/|access-date=5 September 2024|ref=44 |last1=Onyeagwara |first1=Nnamdi }}</ref> Their third win, a 3-1 victory against Liechtenstein was their first ever away victory. This carried additional prestige as it secured San Marino's promotion to league C for the 2026-27 UEFA Nations league, the greatest achievement in the team's history. They have drawn four more times, with their most notable result being a 1993 0–0 draw with [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] during the [[1994 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)|European qualifiers for the 1994 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|title=San Marino v Turkey|url=https://scoreshelf.com/gjbb/en/San_Marino/1994fwcSMR_v_TUR|website=Scoreshelf|access-date=15 March 2017|ref=45|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170316114734/https://scoreshelf.com/gjbb/en/San_Marino/1994fwcSMR_v_TUR|archive-date=16 March 2017}}</ref> In the same qualifying competition, [[Davide Gualtieri]] scored a goal 8.3 seconds into a match against [[England national football team|England]]; this goal held the record for the fastest in international football until 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Christian Benteke nets fastest international goal in 8.1 seconds|url=http://www.espnfc.com/belgium/story/2969713/christian-benteke-nets-fastest-international-goal-in-81-seconds|website=Espnfc.com|date=10 October 2016|access-date=16 March 2017|ref=46}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last1=Bevan|first1=Chris|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/19900296|title=Davide Gualtieri: The man from San Marino who shocked England|date=11 October 2012|work=BBC Sport|access-date=2 March 2020|language=en-GB}}</ref> San Marino has a club in the Italian league system called [[A.S.D.V.

A [[Formula One]] race, the [[San Marino Grand Prix]], was named after the state, although it did not take place there. Instead, it was held at the [[Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari]] in the Italian town of [[Imola]], about {{convert|100|km|-1|abbr=on}} northwest of San Marino. [[Roland Ratzenberger]] and [[Ayrton Senna]] suffered fatal accidents a day apart during the [[1994 San Marino Grand Prix|1994 Grand Prix]]. This international event was removed from the calendar in [[2007 Formula One season|2007]], although the circuit has since returned to the calendar as the [[Emilia Romagna Grand Prix]].
