"Ranked No. 136 in the world, Faroe Islands won their third match on the spin to overcome the Czechs and apply pressure for qualification in Group L. They took the lead through Hanus Sorensen's well-taken goal after 67 minutes but when Adam Karabec equalised 11 minutes later it seemed they would have to settle for a point. It took Faroe Islands just three minutes to change the dynamic of the match,"
"Following a 4-0 win over Montenegro on Thursday, the joint-second biggest win in Faroe Islands' history, they have suddenly pulled themselves into unlikely contention for a spot at the World Cup in America. They sit third in the group, having won their last three matches, just one point behind Czechia, who occupy second spot which results in a play-off place."
Faroe Islands beat Czechia 2-1 to keep faint hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup alive. Ranked No. 136, Faroe Islands won their third consecutive match, taking the lead through Hanus Sorensen after 67 minutes before Adam Karabec equalised. Martin Agnarsson scored three minutes later following poor Czech defending to secure the victory. They previously beat Montenegro 4-0, the joint-second biggest win in their history, boosting their unlikely contention. The Faroe Islands sit third in Group L, one point behind Czechia, while unbeaten Croatia lead the group with a goal difference of +19. Faroe Islands must beat Croatia and hope Czechia lose to Gibraltar to qualify. Their population is 54,719.
