Eidi Stadium Faroe Islands

Eiði Stadium-Faroe Island is located between the Norwegian Sea and Lake Niðara Vatn in the village of Eiði, one of the 18 Faroe Islands. Eidi Stadium was built in 1942, and until recently, it hosted the matches of the national team—the venue for games of a semi-professional football team of the Faroe Islands. Only a small amount of standing room for fans and balls often fly directly into the sea, and it is common for local footballers and visitors to search the sea for lost balls.
