He was called up to the Faroe Islands squad in February 2013 for a training camp held in Thailand and came on as a substitute in a friendly match against the Thailand U23 team.[2] He made his official debut for the Faroe Islands in a World Cup qualifier against Ireland on 7 June 2013.[3]
His mother is Óluva Klettskarð, who is a member of the Faroese parliament since 2011 representing Tjóðveldi.[6]
Páll Klettskarð sometimes participates in activities which are normal in the Faroe Islands, i.e. sheep herding and pilot whaling.[7] In July 2016 the Faroese news portal Norðlýsið added photos showing Klettskarð and another football player of KÍ Klaksvík participating in the harvesting of a pod of pilot whales in the bay of Hvannasund. The organisation Sea Shepherd Conservation Society used the information and photos in their campaign[8] in order to end the around 1000 year old[9] whaling tradition in the Faroe Islands, Klettskarð received a lot of Facebook-messages after the incident from people who were upset about the news.[7]
