Football is the most popular sport in the Faroe Islands by a distance. Sporting facilities are dotted around the islands, which are situated in the Atlantic Ocean between Scotland and Iceland, and the number of men's and women's football matches comfortably outstrips those of any other sport. Faroe Islands have never advanced to the finals of the FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship. They took part in the Island Games in 1989 and 1991 and won both tournaments.

The Faroe's national team did first official match on 1989 in a friendly match against Canada, The first official victory was 1-0 win. The first international competition on september 1990, the game a Euro 1992 qualifier when they beat Austria 1-0.
International membership has also encouraged a steady rise in standards both on the pitch and off it – where administration is key. In the 1990s the country's first two grass-pitch stadiums were built, which ultimately enabled more and more Faroese players to try their luck abroad, primarily in Denmark, Iceland and Norway. Yet, to many local fans, the development of youth football is just as important as the top end of the national game. Competitions are run for young players across six separate age groups throughout the islands to make sure the future remains bright.
