Jan Dam (born 7 September 1968) is a former Faroese football defender. At present, he works as a teacher at a Faroese public school and also as a reserve team coach at the football club EB/Streymur.
Club career[]
Jan made his debut in Faroese football at the age of 17 with HB Tórshavn as a defender in the 1986 season and remained with the club for 10 years before he moved abroad to Danish side Ølstykke FC. He returned home after only one season to join KÍ Klaksvík and later HB again and B68.
International career[]
Dam made his debut for the Faroe Islands in an August 1990 friendly match against Iceland in which he immediately scored from the penalty spot after coming on as a substitute for Abraham Løkin Hansen. The penalty was awarded after foul on Jan. His second match was the 1–0 defeat of Austria, his country's first competitive match. On his third international duty, away to Denmark, he set Brian Laudrup out of the game, despite Faroes lost the match 1–4. His last international match was an April 2000 friendly against Liechtenstein. Jan collected 39 caps, scoring 1 goal. [1]
