Club career

Hermann began playing football as a youth with Siuteroq Nanortalik-43 in his hometown of Nanortalik. When he was six or seven years old he moved to Canada with his family as his father had a work assignment there. There he played football on a grass pitch for the first time and joined South Burnaby Metro Club, a club from outside of Vancouver. [3]

He returned to Greenland at almost age nine and moved to Nuuk. He began playing for local club Grønlands Seminariums Sportklub before switching to B-67 Nuuk at age thirteen. [4] He went on to lead the club to four Greenlandic U18 championships and was named the league's Player of the Season and a member of the Team of the Season in 2012. [3] He competed in the senior Greenlandic Football Championship for the first time in 2011 at age fourteen. [1] [5]

During the summer of 2014 he moved to Denmark to attend a boarding school in Silkeborg. For one season he played in the academy of Silkeborg IF before switching to a school in Viborg and joining the academy of Viborg FF and FK Viborg. [6] Hermann scored nine goals in twelve games during his first season, making him the club's top scorer and second-top scorer in the under-19 division. He made further appearances for the club in the reserve league. [3] [1] In the final match of the 2015 under-19 division season, Hermann played a vital role in the offense as the team secured a 2–1 victory over FC Vestsjælland and a third-place finish in the table. [7]

By 2016 Hermann had returned to Greenland and rejoined B-67 Nuuk. The club advanced to the league final that season, defeating Nagdlunguaq-48 to win the title. [8] He was named to the team of the season for his performances. [9] He helped the club reach the league final again for the 2017 season before ultimately falling to IT-79. Hermann was again named one of the top two forwards in the league at the end-of-season awards. [10] He was one of the squad's key members as the club won the league championship in again in 2018. [11]

International career

Hermann was selected for the national futsal team for the 2012 Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse, Yukon. Greenland advanced to the final before being defeated by Russia's Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. He was the tournament's top scorer that year. He competed again in the 2014 edition of the tournament. This time Greenland won the championship with Hermann being the top scorer again. [1]

Hermann was called up to the senior national team for the first time in 2014 but did not see much playing time because of injury. [1] He was later called up to the Greenland squad for the 2017 Island Games. He went on to make three appearances in the competition. [12]

In August 2021, Greenland head coach Morten Rutkjær named Hermann to the 24-man squad that would train and compete against several Danish clubs in Denmark the following month. [13] The camp was the first of its kind after the Greenland Football Association began the process of joining CONCACAF. [14]

He was then part of the roster for Greenland's first match against an official national team after beginning the process of joining CONCACAF, a friendly match against Kosovo under-21 to be played in Turkey in September 2022. [15] He was also in the starting line-up in a 6–1 defeat to Al-Kahrabaa SC of the Iraqi Premier League during the camp. [16]

Most of the matches they have played have been against the Faroe Islands and Iceland, but neither of the two consider those games full internationals. In May 2022, it was announced that Greenland had officially applied to become a member of CONCACAF.

The Arktisk Stadion is a proposed association football stadium which would replace Nuuk Stadium as the national stadium of Greenland. The stadium is proposed, in part, to allow Greenland to participate in FIFA and CONCACAF or UEFA as the organizations' strict guidelines on stadiums are a barrier to admittance. It is expected to seat several thousand spectators and be fully enclosed with heating. The stadium was, at one point, expected to be completed by 2020; however, as of November 2019, the Greenlandic government was still seeking investors to help finance the stadium's construction. Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and its renowned architect David Zahle designed the stadium as part of the larger proposed cultural center. In 2016 the firm was paid 380,000 Danish krone (€51,000) for planning and design work, with the majority going toward feasibility studies.
