Malta friendly cancelled
The planned friendly international at home against Malta in June has been cancelled because the two countries can’t find a date that suites both parties. But the deal has not been annulled, however, and the match will instead be played net year.
The Faroe Islands kick off their European Qualifying campaign in Finland on 7 September.

AB Argir goalkeeper Hans Jørgensen quits
Having been degraded to second choice goalkeeper after Oddbjørn Joensen became head-coach at AB, Hans Jørgensen has decided to quit the club.
It’s not clear what his future holds as the other clubs have capable goalkeepers, and only option at the moment is maybe if B68 goalkeeper Kristian Joensen moves abroad after the summer. Jørgensen was B68 goalkeeper in 2012.
