Despite its small size, Faroe Islands is a nation that has really been on the lips of handball fans in recent years, especially the national team has been performing well under Danish head coach Peter Bredsdorff-Larsen.
“The Faroese national team has developed a lot in recent years and we have a lot of potential. So, both as a spectator and as a player, I think that we are very optimistic about the future and also about what will happen this week in terms of qualifying for the final tournament,” Teigum says.
“But if we don’t progress, I don’t think our first appearance at a final tournament is far away; I see it happening within the next few years.
With two rounds to go in group 4 of the qualifiers, Faroe Islands are ranked third with two points, two behind Romania and six behind leaders Austria. Their upcoming opponents in the Highlight Match on Wednesday (live on EHFTV at 20:00 CEST), Ukraine, are also on two points.
“I think we are in a very good position. We have got a bit of a reputation on our home court that it is a difficult place to play, and we have played some really good games and won several at home. So right now, we might have a slight advantage. However, I think it will be a very close and even match,” Teigum says.
