This Is Awesome: Every Newly Born Baby in San Marino Will Get San Marino Football Kit
Dec 24, 2022, by Chris
The San Marino Football Federation (Federazione Sammarinese Giuoco Calcio) have come up with a great idea.
San Marino are one of the smallest countries in the world and the worst-ranked FIFA nation
San Marino is a microstate located and totally surrounded by Italy. The population of San Marino is around 35,000 people. In 2021, 309 babies were born in San Marino. San Marino are the worst-ranked team in the official FIFA rankings at place 212.
Around 300 Babies Born Per Year: San Marino Give Tiny San Marino Kit to Every Newly Born Baby in San Marino
From December 22 2022 until the end of 2023, every newly born baby in San Marino will be given a tiny San Marino national football shirt. This sweet gesture is aimed at inspiring a new generation of fans for the micro-nation.
Around 300 babies are born in the small country every year
The kit given to the babies is a Baby version of the official San Marino 2022 kits. It has the same design as the original kit and is of course also made by Italian supplier Errea.
Interestingly, San Marino is provided by Errea as part of the UEFA Kit Assistance scheme. We have no info if the idea is for other small nations as well but it appears very unlikely. Errea is located around 200 km away from San Marino.
Other small Errea "UEFA nations" probably won't follow suit
Do you like that idea of San Marino? Should other (small) countries should follow? Let us know in the comments down below.
Singapore Switch Kit Supplier Mid-Tournament
The Singapore national team debuted new Adidas kit during their final group stage match of the 2026 ASEAN Championship. In their previous three matches of the tournament, "The Lions" were using Nike.
This switch occurred mid-tournament because the sponsorship agreement between the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) and Nike only officially expired on July 31, while the new deal with Adidas took effect immediately.
