The Faroe Islands national football team is the national Football team of Faroe Islands and is controlled by the Faroe Islands Football Association . It is one of the weakest members of UEFA and has never advanced to the finals of any major international competition. Although the team has been in existence since 1930 , neither FIFA nor the Faroes FA 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 . The game, a qualifier, was played in Landskrona , Sweden because there were no grass fields on the Islands. During both the Euro 2000 Qualifiers and Euro 2004 Qualifiers , they also held Scotland to a draw at home.
