France want Faroes postponement
France coach Raymond Domenech hopes to take his side to Torshavn shortly France will ask for Saturday's Euro 2008 qualifier to be postponed after the squad's plane was unable to land in the Faroe Islands.
"The federation will ask for the game to be postponed because these are extraordinary circumstances," said a source from the French Federation.
BBC online reported the team plane was diverted to Bergen in Norway due to bad weather.
Les Bleus will either fly to the Faroes on Saturday morning or take a ferry to fulfill the Group B fixture.
Uefa rules state that a team have to arrive at the match venue 24 hours before kickoff, which was scheduled for 1500 GMT on Saturday.
France are third in the group, one point adrift of second-placed Italy and two behind leaders Scotland.
