The FSF became a member of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) in 1988 and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in 1990. By population, it remains the fourth smallest member of UEFA, which encompasses the countries of Europe. The women’s team played their first FIFA-sanctioned international match in 1995 and have never advanced to the finals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup or UEFA Women’s Championship. They took part in the Island Games in 2001, 2003 and 2005 and won all three tournaments, as well as appearing at the 2010 edition of the Algarve Cup. In the Faroe Islands, the team is known as the Kvinnulandsli\u00f0i\u00f0.

The matches, a 6\u20130 defeat at K\u00f3pavogsv\u00f6llur and a 2\u20130 defeat at Akranesv\u00f6llur, predate the Faroe Islands’ membership of FIFA and UEFA but are listed as full internationals at both FIFA.com and the official website of the Football Association of Iceland (KS\u00cd).[4][5]The Faroe Islands joined FIFA on 2 July 1988[2] and the male national team played its first official match\u2014a 1\u20130 defeat against Iceland\u2014on 24 August 1988. Membership of UEFA followed on 18 April 1990 and the Faroe Islands’ male team entered its first major international competition later that year: the qualifying rounds for the 1992 UEFA European Football Championship.[2]A women’s team was formed to take part in the 1997 UEFA Women’s Championship qualification tournament, which began in September 1995. P\u00e1ll Gu\u00f0laugsson was appointed as coach. The Faroe Islands were competing at class B, in a regionalised group alongside Belgium, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The group winners would not qualify for the final tournament but would play-off against a last placed team from A class for promotion to the higher grade.[7]The Faroe Islands staged all their home games at the national stadium of the time, Svangaskar\u00f0 in Toftir. On 24 September 1995 they lost their first ever home match 2\u20130 to Ireland.[8] The following month, another 2\u20130 defeat, to Belgium in Brussels, preceded a 7\u20131 loss in Scotland where S\u00f3lv\u00e1 Joensen scored the team’s first ever goal.[9] Two days later, on 25 October 1995, the Faroe Islands beat Wales 1\u20130 at Farrar Road in Bangor to record their first ever victory. Helga Ellingsgaard scored the decisive goal on 35 minutes,[10] while opposition coach Sue Lopez lamented her team’s failure to convert any of their 20 shots at goal.[11]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The next match was a 3\u20131 defeat in Dublin, Ireland’s third goal coming in the last minute. In 1996 the Faroe Islands finished their campaign with three home games, but lost them all. The first, on 18 May 1996, was a 9\u20130 defeat by group winners Belgium which remained the Faroe Islands’ joint record defeat until 2019. Scotland and Wales departed Toftir with 3\u20130 and 1\u20130 victories, respectively, as the Faroe Islands finished bottom of the group with three points, having scored three goals and conceded 27.The FSF scrapped their women’s national team after the tournament, as they were unwilling to fund travel to away fixtures. They did enter competitions at youth level, which were not played on a home and away basis but were mini-tournaments staged in a single location to keep costs down.[12]When the senior women’s national team was relaunched in 2004 after an eight-year hiatus, their first match was a 2\u20131 friendly defeat to Ireland. Irish coach Noel King named an experimental team which lacked his leading players from Arsenal Ladies.[13] The game was staged in Klaksv\u00edk on 12 October 2004, the day before the nations’ senior men’s teams met at Lansdowne Road, Dublin.In the next match, a return friendly with Ireland at the Oscar Traynor Centre in Dublin, Rannv\u00e1 B. Andreasen put the Faroe Islands ahead after six minutes. Ireland hit back to win 2\u20131.The Faroe Islands’ first matches back in UEFA competition came in November 2006, at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2009 qualifying series. At a preliminary round mini-tournament held in Strumica, Macedonia, Malena Josephsen’s injury time goal in the first match was not enough to avert a 2\u20131 defeat to Wales. The team was eliminated after another defeat, 1\u20130 to Kazakhstan. In the final match the Faroe Islands beat hosts Macedonia 7\u20130 at Stadion Kuku\u0161 to record a record win which stood until 2015.Team image[edit]Home stadium[edit]The Faroe Islands women’s national football team plays their home matches on the T\u00f3rsv\u00f8llur.Results and fixtures[edit]The following is a list of match results in the last 12 months, as well as any future matches that have been scheduled.Legend\u00a0\u00a0Win\u00a0\u00a0Draw\u00a0\u00a0Lose\u00a0\u00a0Void or Postponement\u00a0\u00a0Fixture2022[edit]2023[edit]Coaching staff[edit]Current coaching staff[edit]This section needs expansion.
