EVERY TIME.

Should we include it as part of Denmark? All the web based tools for maps exclude it by design, like the one we're using: https://www.workwithdata.com/fifa-world-cup-2022

Players born in Greenland are eligible for the Danish team as far as I’m aware. Jesper Grønkjær is the most famous example, he was a fixture in the Denmark team for ten years.

Oh indeed. We'll see what we can do to fix this, thanks for the feedback!

It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, no?

So are the Faroe Islands and they have their own team. There’s talk every now and then of Greenland joining FIFA or UEFA/CONCACAF but nothing seems to get done about it. Plus as they’re not a country I don’t think they’re actually allowed to join any more.

Several sub-national "countries" have teams. The constituent countries of the UK, of the Netherlands, as well as the Faroe Islands all have teams that are eligible for the World Cup, if they qualify.

UEFA changed their rules a while back I think after Gibraltar joined, so only sovereign countries can join now. The existing members like Wales, England, Faroes etc are fine. I think Greenland are trying to join CONCACAF instead, but they also have members like French Guiana who aren’t in FIFA, so we currently don’t know if they’ll be allowed to participate or not.

Also Taiwan (“Chinese Taipei”) should be failed to qualify not suspended

They aren't in Fifa and therefore cannot enter a team into the World Cup.
Other nations like the Faroe Islands were admitted prior to the rule change which is keeping Greenland out.

It started in Qatar, so all the DNA points went to heat resistance.
