The Sark national football team represents the Channel Island of Sark.
2003 Island Games
Sark has ever only played in the 2003 Island Games in nearby Guernsey and Alderney. The team lost all four matches by at least 15 goals, having the unenviable record of Goals For: 0, Goals Against: 70, from just four matches. Sark only has an island population of 600.
The island made games history by becoming the first team ever to fail to score a goal, but coach Shane Moon summed up the spirit in the camp by saying:
- "It was a special occasion for our lads to enter the tournament. They will probably never do this again in their lifetimes."[1].
Sark's most experienced player was 52 year old former Huddersfield Town professional Barrie Dewsbury.
