International career

[edit]

Jakobsen made his debut for the Faroe Islands in an April 1989 friendly match against Canada, immediately skippering them to their first ever win since joining FIFA. He remained captain of the team during those first years, most notably during their historic victory over Austria in 1990. His final international match was a September 1993 World Cup qualifying match against Romania. He has collected 25 caps, though never scoring any goals.[1]
