The Faroe Islands national handball team is the national handball team of Faroe Islands and is controlled by the Handball Federation of the Faroe Islands.

Contents

In June 2015, Faroe Islands competed in the 2015 IHF Emerging Nations Championship, and won the championship. [1] In June 2017, Faroe Islands competed in the 2017 IHF Emerging Nations Championship, and once again won the championship. [2] At the 2019 edition, unlike the previous ones, Europe was represented only by the teams who competed at the first phase of 2022 European Championship qualification and failed to advance to the Relegation Round. That implied Faroe Islands not to defend their title.

Later in the same qualification process, Faroe Islands qualified for the 2024 European Men's Handball Championship, in which they participated in the Men's EHF Euro for the first time, becoming the second team (after Latvia in 2020) to have qualified for the European Championship after previously having played in the Emerging Nations Championship. They accomplished a draw against Norway, who had been bronze medalists at the 2020 European Championship four years earlier.

For the Olympic Games, Faroe Islands players are eligible to be selected to the Denmark men's national handball team, but no players have been called up to that squad as of August 2024.
