No Place for Football

 

On an island reaching above the arctic circle…

football clubs from across the nation gather for the most unique football season on earth.  It’s the highest level of sport in the country, yet there is no salary. Clubs pay to play with a single goal in mind: To become the champions of Greenland. 

For one week, a nation of 57,000 people looked on as a club from Nuuk traveled to the host town of Ilulissat to compete for the Golden Tuukkaq; the medallion awarded to the National Champions. 

This is the story of the shortest football season on earth.  This is the story of the Greenlandic Football Championship.
