The Faroe Islands national team recorded another sensation in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. In the 8th round, the team defeated the Czech Republic 2–1 and kept its chances of reaching the World Cup alive.
This victory marked the third consecutive win for the islanders — something unprecedented in the country’s football history. In previous rounds, the team had defeated Gibraltar (1–0) and Montenegro (4–0).
Currently, the Faroe Islands have collected 12 points from 7 matches and occupy 3rd place in Group L. The Czech Republic are second with 13 points, while Croatia lead the group with 16. These results have opened a historic opportunity for the Faroe Islands.
Next, the team faces a crucial away match against Croatia. If the Faroe Islands win and the Czech Republic drop points against San Marino, the islanders could take second place and advance to the playoffs.
Experts note that in recent years, the Faroe Islands have shown significant growth not only in results but also in their playing style. The team’s fighting spirit and discipline have turned them into one of Europe’s most intriguing sides.
The upcoming match against Croatia will be historic — a victory could bring the Faroe Islands closer to their first-ever World Cup appearance.
