Greenland's national football team manager Morten Rutkjaer expressed that joining Concacaf would be significant for the Arctic island, as it recently applied for membership in the football governing body. With a population of 57,000, larger than some current Concacaf members, Greenland hopes to develop a competitive team and dreams of playing against nations like the USA and Mexico in the future. Unable to join Uefa due to UN recognition requirements, Greenland sees this opportunity as a major step, aiming to enhance national pride through international football matches despite challenges like the harsh Arctic climate. Plans for more indoor pitches and potential partnerships with Iceland are being considered to support their football development goals.
