Faroe Islands introduce self-navigating cars to take tourists off the beaten track
The Faroe Islands have introduced a fleet of self-navigating, speaking cars in a bid to tackle 'predictable experiences' and expose visitors to undiscovered destinations on the archipelago. A video introducing the scheme shows visitors hiring a car before following navigation instructions to lesser-known places. Along the way, the car 'narrates' information about the surprise route. A statement from the Faroe Islands explains that tourists' tendency to gather around 'the same iconic hotspots' creates a 'closed ecosystem where images from popular places attract even more people to those very locations.' It adds that the result is overtourism and 'predictable experiences'. After booking with 62N car rental, a partner of Visit Faroe Islands, travellers scan a QR code which activates one of 30 itineraries curated from a locals' perspective. These include a visit to Europe's tallest sea cliffs, hikes to breathtaking fjords and a trip to a roadside fish-and-chips stand. 'There's just one catch: you have to surrender control,' reads the statement. 'When you rent one of these cars, you sign an agreement to follow its directions, with no clue where you're headed.' Visit Faroe Islands CEO Guðrið Højgaard said: 'We set out to explore how technology and creativity could offer a new way for travellers to discover the Faroes – one that leads them into places they might never find on their own. 'This is a more thoughtful kind of journey, designed to both protect what's most beloved and reveal spots often overlooked. 'With this initiative, we hope to lead by example, demonstrating how destinations can embrace innovation to spread tourism more responsibly and meaningfully.' The new fleet of cars can be booked on the Visit Faroe Islands website, with rates starting from around £74 per day.

From 0-4 to 5-4: comeback of the season in the Conference League 🤯🔥
The Conference League is already offering us crazy matches. While most European clubs have just resumed training, others are already playing key matches for their season. This was particularly the case for HJK Helsinki (Finland) and NSI Runavik (Faroe Islands), who faced each other in the first qualifying round of the Conference League. Beaten 4-0 in the first leg by the Faroese, after being reduced to 10 men from the 23rd minute, the Finns will achieve the unthinkable in the return match. Perfectly launched thanks to the red card received by their opponent in the 15th minute, Helsinki will push until leading 3-0 in the 79th minute of play. However, this is not enough and Helsinki then thinks they are heading for the exit. But in the 94th minute, Georgios Anzoulas will emerge to allow his team to snatch extra time. From the start of extra time, HJK finds the gap again thanks to a goal from Santeri Hostikka on a free kick and thus qualifies. Final score on aggregate, 5-4 for Helsinki who signs a crazy feat and advances to the next round. The disappointment is terrible for Runavik and their goalkeeper, who (despite a hand fault on the third goal) stopped 14 attempts after suffering 57 shots, including 20 on target during this return match.
