It is crazy really to think about how mental it is that the Faroe Islands (Population 55,000) got a team into Europe before Wales (Population 3.2m) or Northern Ireland (Population 1.8m).
Such an underrated achievement.b
๐ท SIX countries are yet to have a team in the main stages of the European competitions:
Andorra, Malta, Montenegro,
Northern Ireland, San Marino, Wales
