Overview

• The 2–1 home victory in Tórshavn completed the Faroes’ first-ever run of three competitive wins, following Gibraltar and a 4–0 defeat of Montenegro.
• They have 12 points from seven matches, sit third in Group L and trail Czechia by one point, with group leader Croatia already unreachable.
• The playoff path requires at least a draw away to Croatia on 14 November and a Czech slip against Gibraltar on 17 November.
• The surge lifted the team beyond its previous nine-point best despite a largely semi‑professional squad, with 13 players based at home and some holding regular jobs.
• Coach Eydun Klakstein and FSF president Christian Andreasen lauded the win as among the nation’s finest, with the side ranked 136th by FIFA.
