For one week each year, football clubs from across Greenland combat the unforgiving elements to gather in a host town to compete in the world's shortest football season. No Place for Football is an intimate look at one club's journey above the arctic circle as they look to claim the title of National Champions. This is the story of the Greenlandic Football Championship.
