After two long hard months of lockdown, there was some good news as live football finally returned. And I’m not talking about the German Bundesliga which got underway this weekend. No, the first League to start up again in Western Europe was the Faroe Islands’ Premier Division.

We’ve talked about Faroese soccer on this site before, so it’s a real treat to hear that they are leading the way in opening back up., due to the islands’ Covid-19 free status.

While it’s almost impossible to find live streams of games, comprehensive highlights packages are available on YouTube thanks to Nord Fodbold. Now you can enjoy this fascinating league, with teams such as B36 andf HB from the capital Tórshavn, Vikingur, KÍ Klaksvík, ÍF Fuglafjørður and others  played in some of the most spectacular surroundings in the world.

We’ll be following the league here every week. And for starters, here are roundups of the first two weeks of play:
