Brief Info

Politically, they’re part of Denmark, but with a large degree of autonomy. Their population is small, only 50,000 people — like New Zealand, there are more sheep than men — which does funky things to their per-capita statistics.

The Faroe Islands got hit with coronavirus, too. But the nation has largely been able to nip the virus in the bud, thanks in part to geography, yes, but also to a rapid and successful testing regimen. (They built their own, and by February were able to handle 600 tests a day.) At the moment, the islands have only two active cases and zero deaths, making live sports a far safer proposition there than almost anywhere else on the globe. And so Saturday brings the delayed opening of the islands’ Premier League, which has been around since 1942, and is played in stadiums that look like nowhere else.

The official name for the league is Betri deildin. (“Betri” is the sponsor, a Faroese bank.) It’s a semi-professional league, which means that most players have other jobs on the side. There are only ten teams, and every team plays each other thrice. Just like in other soccer leagues, the bad teams get relegated, and the good teams get rewarded with spots in European competitions, though since the league ranks near the bottom of UEFA’s competition index, the Faroese clubs are always seeded incredibly low. But they sometimes do get to compete against the famous clubs, which means that you occasionally get headlines like the one about Scottish soccer fans missing a match after their plane couldn’t land on the islands’ only airport.
