Talk:Faroe Islands national football team

Gunnar Nielsen part

In the History section it mentions Gunnar Nielsen's debut for Man City and about him being the first Faroese player to play in the Premier League.

But is this really relavent enough to Faroes national team to be included? (Just seems abit out of place to me) Bobbymozza 22:06 25 May 2010

Although the team has been in existence since 1930, neither FIFA nor UEFA considers matches before 1988 as official. Faroe Islands pulled one of the biggest upsets in world soccer history, when they beat Austria 1-0 in their first ever competitive international on 12 September 1990.

How come the first match played by this team is mentioned as July 12 1985 ?? Anyone knows? FvS 19:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[1] The games prior to 1988 and matches against non-FIFA nations are not classified as official by FIFA or the Faroes FA. Mistake, first counted match was 24/08/1988. Will fix. First competitive match was against Austria. DR31 _(talk) 19:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Does the Faroe Islands have any other sports teams?

Yes, at least in handball they are taking part in international competitions. A very high estimated but domestic sport is rowing. They have a unique class of own boats (Faroe boats) and make National Championships each summer. It is as popular, as football. Furthermore, the Faroes have good swimming athlets. Chess is also to mention as sport on international level. -- Arne List 07:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

We also have a skilled national swimming team and a skilled archery team. We also get better and better chess players. A page should definitely be created, if it hasn't been created already for Helgi Dam Ziska, who's the Faroes' chess prodigy at the moment. And yes, I was also gonna ask about the matches on the right side. It should definitely be changed in a way, that the FIFA recognized matches appear there. Another option would be to have the non-FIFA recognized matches in brackets behind or something. Mulder1982 (talk) 00:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Faroe Islands national football team

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Faroe Islands national football team's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Notable Matches

Why are these matches notable. It seems a little arbitrary. LenTheWhiteCat 21:20, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Faroe Islands Football Association logo.svg

Thanks for uploading File:Faroe Islands Football Association logo.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
