GEORGIA v FAROE ISLANDS

Today, Thursday, June 5, as part of the 2024/2026 Season Friendlies, Georgia will face the Faroe Islands in an eagerly anticipated fixture. BUT  the next home fixture in the Nations' League for the Georgian team will be played without spectators. 

UEFA has fined the Georgian Football Federation €40,000 and ordered one "competitive"home match to be played without fans due to the indecent behaviour of supporters during the match against Armenia, which took place on March 23 in Tbilisi (6:1). Georgian fans invaded the pitch and subsequently threw bottles towards Armenian supporters and used pyrotechnics. Naughty! The ban will apply to the first home match of the 2026/27 Nations League season, meaning it will not affect the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Looking at recent form, Georgia has secured two wins, one draw, and suffered two defeats in their last five games. Meanwhile, the Faroe Islands have recorded one victory, one draw, and three losses over the same period. It is also worth noting that in nearly all recent encounters involving Georgia and the Faroe Islands, the total goals scored have been two or fewer. Here's map!
