The next Euro 2020 qualifier is against Denmark on Saturday. The game will be played in Denmark, although it is a home game for the Faroese team. The reason for this is that the Faroese sports halls do not meet international requirements.
The Faroes-Denmark game will be broadcast live on KVF TV on Saturday at 2:55pm.
