Jóannes Jakobsen (born on 25 August 1961) is a former Faroese football defender, as well as musician and composer, having released three albums on the Faroe Islands and produced a number of albums for other artists. He is assistant coach of Faroe Islands.

Club career

He played over 20 years with Faroese top team, HB Tórshavn, where he also became player/coach in 1994. He was also player and manager of several other Faroese clubs.

International career

Jakobsen made his debut for the Faroe Islands in an April 1989 friendly match against Canada, immediately skippering them to their first ever win since joining FIFA.
