Career

[edit]

Nielsen made his international debut for the Faroe Islands on 12 October 2019 in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against Romania, which finished as a 0–3 home loss.[3] The last couple of years he has been suffering with knee and Achilles tendon injuries. When he didn't play in the whole year of 2024 it was likely that his carrer was over, but then he announced a comeback for the 2025 season.[4]
