Match background • The sides' only previous encounters were a 4-0 home loss and a 7-0 away defeat for San Marino in 1992 UEFA European Championship qualifying. • Alain Sutter (7), Stéphane Chapuisat (27), Adrian Knup (43) and Frédéric Chassot (87) were the scorers in the first encounter between Giorgio Leoni's San Marino and Uli Stielike's Switzerland, in Serravalle on 14 November 1990. • Knup (3 and 87), Marc Hottiger (13), Beat Sutter (29), Heinz Hermann (55), Christophe Ohrel (78) and Kubilay Türkyılmaz (90) were the scorers in the return fixture in St Gallen on 5 June 1991. • At youth level, things have been similarly discouraging for San Marino, who have lost all five of their UEFA age- group competition matches against Switzerland, conceding 25 times – ten of them in the most recent of those encounters, a UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifier in Belarus on 5 September 2009. • SS Folgore/Falciano at least managed to score in the only UEFA club competition tie between sides from the two nations, though they lost 12-1 on aggregate to FC Basel 1893 in that 2000/01 UEFA Cup qualifying round tie. Alessandro Zanotti's 79th-minute header is thus the only Sammarinese goal to have been scored in a competitive match against Swiss opponents. 3 San Marino - Switzerland Tuesday 14 October 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit San Marino Stadium, Serravalle Squad list San Marino Current season Overall Qual.

Vladimir Petković Date of birth: 15 August 1963 Nationality: Swiss Playing career: FK Sarajevo (twice), FK Rudar Ljubija, FC Koper, FC Chur 97 (twice), FC Sion, FC Martigny-Sports, AC Bellinzona (twice), FC Locarno Coaching career: AC Bellinzona (twice), FC Malcantone Agno, AC Lugano, BSC Young Boys, Samsunspor, FC Sion, SS Lazio, Switzerland • Started his career in midfield with Sarajevo, losing in the 1983 Yugoslavian Cup final but featuring twice as his team took the 1984/85 league title, the only major honour of his playing days. • Moved to Switzerland in 1987, playing for second-tier Chur and then ascending to the top flight with Sion in 1988/89; failed to secure a regular place and returned to the second division to represent Martigny, Bellinzona and Locarno. • Petković hung up his boots in 1999, aged 36, following a season as player-coach at Bellinzona.
