The Greenlandic Football Association is applying for admission to the North and Central American Football Association Concacaf.
The Greenlandic national team may in the long run play qualifying matches against North and Central American national teams.
In any case, the plan is that the Greenlandic football association, KAK, will eventually be admitted to the football association Concacaf, and the application process is already underway.
- It is almost impossible to become a member of the European Football Association UEFA, where we have not been backed by the Danish Football Association DBU.
- KAK has therefore decided that we ourselves must prepare the application process for Concacaf, says the chairman of the application committee Tønnes Berthelsen to the Greenlandic media Sermitsiaq.
Greenland does not have a football stadium that can be approved in relation to international requirements. Therefore, the team's home matches can be played abroad.
Home matches in the USA, Canada or Iceland are mentioned by Berthelsen as opportunities for Greenland.
Greenlandic football must be moved
Greenland has a Danish national coach in the form of Morten Rutkjær. He sees great prospects in Greenland's expected admission to Concacaf.
- It is clearly realistic that we are admitted, and I have great ambitions on behalf of Greenland's football. There are unimaginable opportunities, and with the foundation we are building, we are ready to take up the challenge.
- We will take up the fight against the great nations. It is also of great value that we show Greenland and that there is a huge support from the entire population.
- It may be that we do not win many matches in the beginning, but it means a lot that it is a common mission and we stand together as a nation. The whole country is ready, says Rutkjær.
Morten Rutkjær has a past as a coach in several Danish division clubs and explains that the level of the Greenlandic national team is very similar to what he has previously worked with.
- The team's level corresponds to the 3rd division or the top of the Danish league, but with the right amount of training and a boost of the coaches and training opportunities in Greenland, it is our goal that the players are lifted to a higher level.
- Our players play primarily in Greenland, but we also have a part in Denmark, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. The goal is to send more out in the coming years. We will make a great effort to find players in Denmark who have Greenlandic roots and who can play on the national team, Rutkjær explains.
This is the stadium Greenland is hoping to build:

As a USMNT fan I hope their application succeeds. Wishing you all the best Greenland.
