Faroe Islands vs Kazakhstan

Faroe Islands face Kazakhstan in UEFA Nations League League C Matchweek 1 on Saturday, 26 September 2026, at Tórsvøllur in Tórshavn, Streymoy. The fixture opens the Group 3 campaign for both nations, with our forecasting model pointing to an opening victory for the home team.

Satpayev sidelined as Kazakhstan begin Group 3

Kazakhstan manager John van ’t Schip enters the campaign without Dastan Satpayev, who was omitted from the squad due to an injury. The travelling team nonetheless welcomed back two experienced figures, with Bauyrzhan Islamkhan and Stas Pokatilov returning to international contention. Kazakhstan face an away double-header to start the group, moving on to Slovakia on 29 September 2026 before hosting Moldova on 2 October 2026 and meeting Faroe Islands again in the reverse fixture on 6 October 2026.

Tórsvøllur opens Group 3 with 6,040 capacity

Tórsvøllur in Tórshavn, Streymoy, hosts the contest in front of up to 6,040 supporters. Faroe Islands start their League C Group 3 programme at home before embarking on their own away fixture against Moldova on 29 September 2026. With Slovakia and Moldova completing the four-team section, early points at home carry weight across the six-game autumn schedule. The return match between these two takes place on 6 October 2026, followed by the concluding group matches in November 2026.
