Matteo Vitaioli

Born in Fiorentino, San Marino, Vitaioli has represented four clubs on a permanent basis: San Marino Calcio, F.C. Fiorentino, Sammaurese and Tropical Coriano and has played for four clubs on loan: Empoli (although he failed to make a single league appearance in the second half of 2005–06 Serie A), ASD Cagliese, Real Montecchio and P.D. Castellarano.

At the age of 17 years-old, he became San Marino's youngest ever international player in 2007. He played for the San Marino national football team as they secured a 0–0 draw against Estonia in 2014. He scored his first goal on 8 September 2015, in a 2–1 defeat in a European Championship qualifier away to Lithuania. It was San Marino's first away goal in 14 years. He was considered to be one of the most promising young talents in the San Marino national football team, often regarded as a key member of the squad, partnering with Andy Selva and Nicola Ciacci in a three-pronged San Marino attack. By 2024, he had become the captain of the San Marino national team, and in 2022, he became the most capped player in his country’s history with his 74th international appearance against Estonia, overtaking the 73 caps earned by Selva. On November 18, 2024, he played as San Marino secured promotion from the fourth and bottom tier of the UEFA Nations League with a 3–1 win away against Liechtenstein. On November 18, 2025, he made his 100th international appearance in a 7–1 defeat to Romania during 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, becoming the first Sammarinese player to achieve this feat.
