Páll Klettskarð

Páll Klettskarð (born 17 May 1990) is Faroese footballer who plays as a striker for KÍ and the Faroe Islands national team.

[2] He made his official debut for the Faroe Islands in a World Cup qualifier against Ireland on 7 June 2013.

[7] Páll Klettskarð sometimes participates in activities which are normal in the Faroe Islands, i.e. sheep herding and pilot whaling.

[8] In July 2016 the Faroese news portal Norðlýsið added photos showing Klettskarð and another football player of KÍ Klaksvík participating in the harvesting of a pod of pilot whales in the bay of Hvannasund.

The organisation Sea Shepherd Conservation Society used the information and photos in their campaign[9] in order to end the around 1000 year old[10] whaling tradition in the Faroe Islands, Klettskarð received a lot of Facebook-messages after the incident from people who were upset about the news.
