Faroe Islands national football team

The Faroe Islands national football team is the national team of Faroe Islands and is controlled by the Faroe Islands Football Association. It is one of the weakest members of UEFA and has never advanced to the finals of any major international competition. Although the team has been in existence since 1930, neither FIFA nor UEFA considers matches before 1988 as official. Faroe Islands pulled on of the biggest upsets in world soccer history, when they beat Austria 1-0 in their first ever competitive international on 12 September, 1990. The game, a {{Ec|92}} qualifier, was played in Landskrona, Sweden because there were no grass fields on the Islands. During the {{Ec2|2004}} qualifiers, they also held Scotland to a draw at home.
