Three Mariners will be in international action over the coming days, with Géza Dávid Turi, Clarke Oduor and Jude Soonsup-Bell all set to represent their countries during the current international window.
Each player received a call-up to their respective national teams and will now be hoping to feature as their sides take to the field in the coming days.
Turi Set For San Marino Friendly
Midfielder Géza Dávid Turi has been included in the Faroe Islands national football team squad for an upcoming international friendly against San Marino.
Turi has established himself within the Faroe Islands setup since becoming eligible to represent the country. The 24-year-old previously featured for the Faroe Islands national under-21 football team before stepping up to the senior squad earlier last year during FIFA World Cup qualification fixtures against the Czech Republic and Montenegro.
He made his senior debut against the Croatia national football team in September before scoring his first international goal in November during another meeting with Croatia.
The upcoming friendly provides another opportunity for the midfielder to add to his growing list of international appearances.
