Overview

The Faroe Islands women's national football team represents the Faroe Islands in international women's football and is governed by the Faroese Football Association, which was founded in 1979. The team competes in UEFA qualifying competitions but has not won a major senior international title. As a small nation, the Faroese team has faced considerable challenges in competing against larger European sides, though the women's game has developed steadily on the islands over the decades.

The squad includes several players who contribute regularly to the team's efforts in UEFA Women's European Championship qualifying rounds. Among the current notable players are G. Lützen, V. Østerø, Á. Joensen, E. Mikkelsen, T. Jacobsen, and T. Joensen. These players form the core of a relatively compact national setup.

The team trains and develops players within a domestic league structure on the islands, drawing from a small population base. Despite limited resources compared to larger footballing nations, the Faroe Islands continue to field a competitive women's side at the international level.
