With its more than 49,000 inhabitants, the Faroe Islands is Europe's fifth smallest country and thus would not even fill the Friends Arena, which takes in about 50,000 people.

The national team consists of players where half play club football in other Nordic countries and the other half plays in the country's high-profile Betrideildin, where the training takes place in the evening when most players have regular jobs during the day.

Zollade Zlatan

The country has failed to qualify for any championship but has made an impression in various qualifying contexts. Among other things, by defeating the former European champion Greece - twice over - in qualifying for the European Championships 2016. Earlier in the 2000s they scored points against nations such as Scotland, Austria and Hungary.

Earlier this summer, they shook Norway when, in the 75th minute, they had a receipt chance where the inside of the post saved Norway from flat fall.

Three meetings in total

The Faroe Islands have also zeroed in on Sweden and Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the team met in Växjö Tipshall, which was Zlatan's first international match. 0-0 ended the friendly in 2001. In addition, Sweden has met the Faroe Islands on two occasions, both in qualifying for the World Cup 2014, when Sweden took three points both times.

The Faroe Islands no longer have a list of qualified players or leaders. One of the biggest - perhaps even the biggest - is Danish Allan Simonsen, former Barcelona and Mönchengladbach professionals, who coached the national team between 1994-2001.

Sweden can probably expect rain during the match as the Faroe Islands have 280 rainy days a year.
