Hidden Grounds: Faroe Islands

- Welcome to Hidden Grounds, we hope to make this a series telling the story of places and clubs around the world that we find interesting. It’s a big world and we want to make it smaller by humanizing everything. I certainly humanized the Faroe Islands for myself after this trip.
I cannot begin to express my appreciation to everyone we interacted with in the Faroe Islands and in Klaksvik. We had exclusively good experiences and I think that comes off in the episode. Thank you for welcoming us in to tell your story. If you like this video and want us to do more, let me know, this is the test to see if this is something we should do more of in the future.
All Love,
Zealand

I gotta be honest man, this type of stuff is BY FAR your best content; getting insights into clubs/players etc I otherwise never would have, I love it so much
You ever seen away days as well
@@jameswg13 This seems to take it much more seriously; Away Days is fun, no doubt, but it's Ellis and his friends going off for a weekend jaunt to have some beers and watch mediocre football and have a laugh 90% of the time. This more reminds me of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, but with football rather than food being the focus.
Should check out footy adventures he does the British leagues and focuses majority wise in Scotland on teams that are either forgotten or have no PR ect actually does a better job than the SFA of advertising scottish and Welsh leagues
Totally agree man.. great stuff❤
Absolutly loved this.
This content deserves a show on Netflix. This production is amazing!
They would do well I'm sure.
Ze, the storytelling, the production, the camera work, all of it is stunning. Please keep making these!
What he said. Loved every second.
A delightful watch! This makes me wish Zealand had a permanent football-based travelling programme.
I was thinking the same... I think this would be a great series. Next destination = New Zealand! The name, tucked in in the opposite end of the world a unique collection of islands just as Faroe Islands, food, culture and unique football pro and semi-pro leagues.
I just wanted to say, awesome work Z... Nordic football overall is very underrated and isn't covered as much, as it should be. If this becomes a regular series, I'd be over the moon!
I watch all the Nordic games I can thanks to one football
🙏🙏🙏
It seems like you're built for this documentary style content. The narration, story telling and production are all on point.
The Faroe islands seem to have that sense of community that the majority of the world is missing nowadays in 2023, such a beautiful and wholesome place.
It really is, went there in 2017. People in the village we lived in didnt bother locking their homes or cars. Everyone knew everyone and was layed back yet friendly.
I’m a sports journalism student and I have no idea what I want to do when I graduate… then I saw this video. This is what I want to do. The best documentary I’ve ever seen… take a bow, Ze
This genuinely reminds me of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, just with soccer rather than food being the focus; the embedding into the local culture, exploring the place, and even some of the music being quite similar. That's high praise; keep this series going!
Absolutely. Especially keeping the focus sharply on the setting, instead of the normal football travel RUclips videos
Very alike. Even the format is similar. The brothers are learning from the best - and if they're not, well dang.
Rip Bourdain, it still hurts watching old episodes….
I love the Football Manager stuff, but man, you are both so talented at this type of content.
I shed a tear at the end of the video. This is what football is about, thank you for this, and I hope to see other great videos like this in the future !
Potential idea : Coupe de France is sometimes played in the carribean or in French Guiana, as a matter of fact yesterday the Guadeloupe and Martinique teams both won and are continuing onwards to the 1/32 final where the Ligue 1 clubs enter !
This is some world class storytelling. I honestly can't fathom that you are rocking this level of content without a production company backing you. Well done.
I just bought FM 2024. So was binging the channel for help.
Then i saw this.
My god, the amount of effort, and then they way this is set up.
Not as an oddities thing. But with respect and a honest search in what this club and thing is.
I am so impressed, for me this is what channels as Sam Harris and stuff should be. You earned not only a sub but a real fan.
Holy shit dude, your speech at the end sent me into tears. I've been around for years, through all the seasons of FM, loved every moment of it. But this is the best content you've ever made. Youre a natural. At communicating, putting yourself into the situation wholeheartedly and just.. Transfering knowledge. I love this team, all from your presentation of the city and the people. Please consider doing more of this. And the camera work was incredible too. There's a gem here.
This is so good, it is genuinely on a higher level than allmost all tv productions of this type.
Love the fm stuff, but this is incredibly beautiful and touching
Thank you
Sat down to finally watch this over my dinner after the hells of a finals week. First words were "Where is the end of the world?" I sat here memorized for the better part of 30 minutes. What a video.
IT'S FINALLY HERE! THANK YOU ZE AND ADLER!
I'm excited for this cinematic masterpiece :)
I wouldn't be surprised if his kind of video documentary happens to end up on the TV one day, as someone else wrote, these kind of videos are pure gold.
Great stuff. Adler is knocking it out of the park with the footage, this is professional level stuff. Does he have a background/training in video?
The two man crew of Zealand and Adler 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So proud of you two! What a beautiful story, so professionally done and so excited to see..Oh, the places you two will go! 💞 Congratulations to the Fareo Islands too, what a story!
The camera work accompanied by those last few lines at the end made me well up with tears of joy. This really is what football is all about. I plead that both you and your brother continue to make such insightful and high quality content.
Yes please. Fantastic work from Zealand
Such great, high quality content. You mentioned being jealous of the sense of community and it really does come across how it makes a massive difference. Doing things a certain way because it's the right thing to do rather than the 'best' thing.
Dear Zealand. This is pure quality and totally wholesome. I’ve always rated you high as a narrator of the fictional world but now you’ve really made the grade for me in the real world
Zealand, as your fm fan and social media fan for since I began fm. This is the kind of content that puts a smile in my face. Not because i don’t enjoy your fm videos because I LOVE THEM . But it’s because I genuinely feel another brother who loves football like we do, and i salute you that you’re bringing all these content that we aren’t able to experience ourselves but we can experience it genuinely through you and your love of football . Thank you
I loved watching the kids being encouraged. When that kid scored a goal, and 20-30 people were cheering him on, I nearly cried. I agree with your last sentiment: I wish I knew such community and support. From a really early age, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my neighbors, and my teachers all told me I would amount to nothing. I wasn't good at anything. How my life could have changed if I had even a fraction of support these people give to each other. It makes me sad.
It's never too late - show your self the love and faith it needs and you can achieve great things still!
That's sweet, but it's definitely too late. My body is broken. There was a bomb in Afghansitan, and a really big cement wall. The days of accomplishing anything are passed. Now in my 50's, with a broken body, and a mountain of debt, any hope of accomplishing anything in my life is gone. Now, all I can do is sit around, and wait for the day my broken body finally gives out on me.@@kapoukapoioskapote
this video brought me to tears idk why. so emotional seeing how much football means to some and how it ties a community together. amazing vid man
This is so much better than all the glory and glitters (and fraud) of the big clubs. Absolutely lovely video Zealand. Amazing to see the love for themselves, for eachother and for the nature surrounding them on the Islands
I pay for TV, I have channels on TV dedicated to football, and still ... the good content is here... Thank you Mr. Zealand...
You've made your mark! From a random guy who plays fm manager to a niche football youtuber, Zealand we applaud you in being "football youtube". !!!
Man o Man. I think this will win a competition for the best sports documentary. What a beautiful story and such nice cinematography from a single person crew. Really touched by the story and also felt jealous from the town. One thing for sure i am going to start to follow the nordic leagues. This is something insane from a country this small.
Ze, I realized watching your stream today that I hadn't checked out your Faroe islands video. I am so glad that I got to watch this. This is some of the best sports/travel content I've ever seen. I couldn't agree more-this is what soccer (or any sport for that matter) should look like. It once was like this in America with baseball (out here in Colorado there was a league for all the small mining towns in my area), and maybe one day it will be again with soccer, football, or something else. Sport as community, comradery, and family.
Don't let this go to your head, but I saw a flash one day of you on TV making documentaries and being a leading voice of the game and bringing an authentic, unique worldview to the sporting world that this country (and the world at large) so desperately needs.
Zealand should have a TV show. Great watch man, thanks.
More of this, please. You traveling to minnow countries and capturing their football culture would be amazing content.
Huge respect for the Faroes, been following them since 2018
Nice
Its my home country btw
And it was my local team
Masterpiece, Z! A real masterpiece. From the way you take the info to the scenery and the small ironies, everything is just amazing.
Amazing presentation. It had almost an “Anthony Bourdane” feel to it. By far one of the most interesting thing I’ve seen on your channel.
Awsome video! I remember during covid when all football stopped, except for in the Faroe Islands. Football fans here in Norway picked their favorite team and started watching it. Funny times being a Víkingur supporter🤣
Been watching your content for a long while now. I don't comment a lot under any videos.
But damn, it's one of the best videos I've seen in my life. No exaggeration. Shows the true feelings football gives in a perfect way.
EDIT: Just changed my mind. Actually the best video. I love coming back to it every now and then
Het Netflix, give this guy a boat load of money and let him make more of these. A wonderful, intimate look at what Football means to a lot of us, the local team, the community club, the actual soul of football.
The production value for a channel with 312k subscribers is just insane
This was REALLY well done. Anthony Bourdain would be impressed by the quality and, I believe, honored by the way in which it seems like you're continuing his tradition, substituting football for food.
What a great video, fantastic work Z and Adler. I'd watch stuff like this all day
Probably one of the best, most wholesome and heartwarming football videos I've seen for quite some time.
Amazing. Genuinely looked like a professional BBC documentary. Incredible.
This is, by far, one of the best football videos on RUclips. Great stuff! Well done @Zealand and everyone on the team!
This is absolutely fantastic Zealand! Most media companies can't create documentaries as grounded and emotional as this.
Gods, that was good. Thanks for that kind of content, I love your FM streams and videos, but that was extremely good. Stunning camera work and production, huge shoutout to all who made all of that.
This was so well made on every level. Love it! I think this would be a great series. My suggestion for the next destination = New Zealand! The name; Zeland-New Zealand, tucked in in the opposite end of the world a unique collection of islands just as Faroe Islands, food, culture and unique football pro and semi-pro leagues with loyal fans and communities.
Extraordinarily well done. The ending though was quite sudden as I wanted more. You should have also given yourselves some kudos with some credits at the end so those unfamiliar with your names will get to know the talents Zealand and Adler. Bang on boys!
I dont know if this is what gets you the most views but Im sure you'll remember this experience for the rest of your life and it was a joy to watch it and learn from it, amazing job 👊
This may be the best half hour of football content I have watched this year, outstanding work! Almost as good as Anthony Bourdain's shows on CNN.
That was stunningly beautiful mate. Not just the country, but your video too. I absolutely adore this content.
I absolutely love your documentary style videos on more or less obscure Clubs. This was a wonderful watch
The quality of this video... Zealand you are absolutely smashing it! You and your crew did a stunning job, great content ❤
10 mins in, This is one of the most beautiful football story and video. Romance in Football is so aptly captured in this video.
BTW, the cinematography in this video is outstanding.
This is not only a football manager channel. Is a channel of a football erudite and connoisseur. Thank you for all the work.
What an excellently made, interesting, informative piece of content
this is a really incredible video. i genuinely learned a lot about a country i previously knew nothing about. really great storytelling
Right time to do a Faroe Island save. We need more content like this mate, this is some of your best stuff! Visiting smaller clubs and talking to the fans and people in the community.
This was incredible to wach Z! Thank you so much for the effort that went into this
I must say Z, this is one of the best videos/stories you've ever produced. It hit me right in the feels. It also epitomises the way I feel about football/soccer.
Well done man! And keep them coming 👍
stories like these make me love football more and more
Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said as I'm a few days late to this video but still, just couldn't not leave a comment saying how phenomenal this was. What a beautiful place and people. This is award winning TV level film making Z, you should be so proud of yourself for this.
I loved every minute of this. I was lucky enough to have been to the Faroes and I felt that communal atmosphere you are talking about instantly. I did not want to leave and have fantasised about moving there ever since. The people are not only very communal, they are also very creative. The music and arts scene is unreal for a population this small.
I've just realised that even my profile pic is still from that stay. A ram, on green Faroese grass, by the blue waters of the Atlantic. Come to think of it, I believe I actually took the pic right outside Klaksvik.
What a fantastic video. This is studio-quality content that you wouldn't even get on most streaming services. Incredible work, Z and Adler. Awesome.
Insane quality, you could easily show this on national TV. I´m being honest and say it I´m now a Klaksvik supporter for their social media manager alone.
Please go to different clubs in the smaller leagues across the world. See what the clubs culture, locals and traditions are like, just like this episode. This would be an awesome series!
love your vids.. but this is the best so far mate! everything on point and the story itself is beautiful :) thanks and keep making such great content by discovering parts of the world, in ways that are a little different! Loving to travel myself, the best part of this vid are the natives having a chance to show their side of the story :) well done and keep going Z and crew!
This is incredible! I always wanted to know more about Faroe Islands and their passion for football. Thank you so much for this excellent documentary! Cheers from Norway.
This may be the best video I've seen on youtube. A great little mini-documentary about not just the team, but the towns, peoples, and cultures.
Just like Copa90 highlighting the food, culture and community around the football makes for such an insightful look in to the lives in and around the club and captures the true essence of the power behind football. From the camera work and cinematography to the editing and story telling, this was beautiful and I only look forward to more content like this!
Wow, never expected to be THIS GOOD. Like, I knew it would be good and fun video but it was exquisite in direction and script, it flew by. And you did an awesome work to show the country, with its plus and minus. Awesome stuff!
Also, god damn it I miss play football lol
I love these videos Zealand, they are so emotional, its like you are there and gives you goosebumps
That was absolutely gorgeous, man! A fantastic little documentary. I really wanted to visit Faroe Islands before, but now I know no one will stop me from doing just that! Also, I watched both matches of Klaksvík against Slovan (since I'm Slovak) and the way they played was really impressive. Slovan might not be a big club, but I'm pretty sure anyway that any one of their players makes as much as the entire monthly wage budget of KI - and yet they were both close 2:1 wins. Hats off!
The quality here, man. WOW! Really top notch work. World class production. Congratulations!
Zealand, this was an incredible video and story. Great content as always. I love your visits to random clubs the content and knowledge is great.
I am so happy on your behalf Z. This is the type of content i think you enjoy the most to do and it's just pure class and exactly what youtube is all about in my humble opinion.
I have followed you for a couple of years now, and the growth of you and your channel is inspiring. All the best from Denmark - looking forward to your next upload.
I shead a tear. We as species cannot survive on our own. Community is what makes us stronger and this community you showed us looks very special.
I watched a lot of your vids zealand, tutorials and everything else, streams too, but i think this is one of my favs, the music, the talks, the experience, the ending speech, love it, keep up the good work
This production quality is insane - unbelievable job everyone involved
This video was Beautifully made. professional grade editing, Looks like a documentary on netflix. Good job Zealand 👍
You know you've done well when your youtube film is broadcast ready. Congrats lads this was true exceptional.
You do so well with these mini documentaries. Really hope you get more chances to do these. What a beautiful story and place.
Zea, just, just beautiful man. You and Adler captured everthing that need to be captured and put on a beautiful tear dropping composition.
Thanks, for more videos like this one with the Shannon brothers, beautiful.
honestly what a great video this was. id love to see alot more of these. the editing and videography is absolutely quality. keep up the good work your FM stuff is amazing but this was emotional and just down right inspiring
By far this is the best video from you Zealand, what a fantastic and fascinating documentary for a place with football not being known by many
Zealand....you out done yourself on this one. Best RUclips video I've seen all year, hands down. Looks like it was professionally done.
You guys absolutely killed it with this one!
Dude, this was an awesome watch.
I can imagine a lot of new FM saves now to get Faroe teams to champions league glory
This is by far my favourite video on your channel so far. And the final shot from 26:23 onwards is, at least to me, the most beautiful one in this entire video. 10/10 video for sure!
One of your best videos ever. Captured the warmth of the people so well. Things like community really feel in short supply these days. Internet communities may be communities, and just as warm as real life ones, but they're often ephemeral, flawed and finite. This, if anything, is real.
Absolutely splendid work, Z and Adler. This was 30 for 30 quality work. Great story, great detail.
As a football fan, this is emotion in its purest form. Amazing content, amazing club!
Well done Zealand. A very good promotion of football in general; and Faroer in particular.
That was a absolutely beautiful video Zealand. Growing up in a small town in Portugal, I can relate to the familiarity displayed here. Made me feel thankful and overall excited to keep watching, playing and talking about football. Keep up with the good work!
Please never stop making this type of video. This was brilliant.
This is, by far, one of the best made videos in YT history. What a beautiful place and an amazing community.
I want to follow you around the world! You may not fully comprehend the impact this kind of positive content can have on people's wellbeing.
Thank you Zealand and Adler!
Well that was just a fantastic video. Well done, Z and the team. Really great job on this one!
Rarely comment but this was an amazing video by you Z, would love to see more like this.
One of the best videos you have ever made. Your content just keeps on reaching new heights.
Love this style of content. Could literally be a great tv show. Learning about the smaller clubs around the world
