A big weekend in Faroese football which showed just how competitive the league is. Relegation threatened B68 Toftir beat title contenders HB Tórshavn at home, while KÍ Klaksvík scored a late equaliser against newcomes Argir. NSÍ Runavík beat EB Streymur 1-0 to go 4 points clearl. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Drama in the #Meistaradeildin as KÍ Klaksvík managed to snatch a draw in the last minute at AB Argir to remain 2nd. AB are newly promoted but have had a good start to the season, finding themselves 4th out of 10 teams. 🇫🇴⚽️
An emphatic win for KÍ Klaksvík that sees them go top (with other matches tomorrow) as B36 Tórshavn failed to beat bottom of the league Skála at home. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
A win today and KÍ Klaksvík could go top. They play relegation threatened B68 Toftir. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
A review of the Easter weekend football from the Faroe Islands as it gets very tight towards the top. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Easter Monday football in the Faroe Islands saw KÍ Klaksvík maintain their unbeaten start to the season and go within 2 points of league leaders NSÍ Runavík, who have 10pts. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Big win for Víkingur on Wednesday to kick start their season and inflict the first defeat on HB Tórshavn, who could've gone top with a win. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Absolutely love this! ❤️❤️❤️
I've said it on numerous occasions that the Faroe Islands have best views from football stadiums.
Plus you get the added bonus of sheep roaming everywhere. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
A chance for KÍ Klaksvík to go top with the other #Meistaradeildin matches taking place on Saturday and Monday. 🇫🇴⚽️
Due to severe weather that will affect the Faroe Islands on Sunday all matches have been postponed. However, they will still be played this weekend with most of the matches being moved to Saturday with one on Monday. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
The battle between the two best teams in the league (in my opinion) ends all square. KÍ are 3rd, while NSÍ are 5th after 2 matches. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Huge game today that could have a big impact on the title race, as the two pre-season favourites meet in Klaksvík. It's KÍ Klaksvík vs. NSÍ Runavík. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
KÍ Klaksvík kick-start their title defence in style, defeating 07 Vestur 5-1 away from home to go top of the #Meistaradeildin. 🇫🇴⚽️
The other results from matchday 1
AB Argir 2-0 B68 Toftir
B36 Tórshavn 2-1 EB/Streymur
NSÍ Runavík 1-0 Víkingur
Skála ÍF vs. HB Tórshavn (late kick-off)
For those not already, give KÍ Klaksvík a follow. If not for their football (which they are very good at), follow them for their coffee ratings. 🇫🇴⚽️☕️😅 #Meistaradeildin
With a new league sponsor, the Faroese football league is back. The champions kick-off their campaign today away to 07 Vestur. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Given the 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin started yesterday, I thought I'd give my final table prediction:
🏆 NSÍ Runavík
🥈 KÍ Klaksvík (C)
🥉 HB Tórshavn
4️⃣ B36 Tórshavn
5️⃣ Víkingur
6️⃣ EB/Streymur
7️⃣ B68 Toftir
8️⃣ AB Argir (P)
9️⃣ Skála ÍF (P)
🔟 07 Vestur
As the Faroese football season kicks off this weekend, I thought I'd share my experience of their football culture again of when I visited the islands last summer. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Yesterday, KÍ Klaksvík won their 4th Super Cup (since its introduction in 2007) beating HB Tórshavn 1-0 thanks to a goal from Filip Brattbakk.
The league season begins next week. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
The new Faroese football season is fast approaching. The Super Cup will be contested this upcoming with KÍ Klaksvík taking on HB Tórshavn, in what is the most historic fixture on the islands (due to how successful both teams are). 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Five new foreign players have joined the Faroese league as NSÍ Runavík, EB Streymur, and B68 Toftir continue to strengthen. The league kicks off just over two weeks. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
NSÍ Runavík are continuing to make some very impressive signings. Experienced Serbian midfielder Nikola Kovacevic is the latest to join as NSÍ look to challenge KÍ Klaksvík this season. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
KÍ Klaksvík continue to strengthen ahead of the new season. KÍ have been very successful in recruiting foreign born players and integrating them into the set up. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
KÍ Klaksvík seem to be enjoying their pre-season trip to Spain. 😅
I think these type of trips for pre-season are relatively new for Faroese teams. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
Faroeball have put some fantastic videos together regarding football in the Faroe Islands. B71 Sandoy has an interesting history, particularly as they have a strong Polish connection. The only time they won the top flight was with a Polish manager and some players from Poland. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
B36 Tórshavn are certainly strengthening a lot ahead of the new season. For the last couple of years, they've slipped away from the top 4 and have finished mid-table. With Dabo and now Børven joining the attack they may challenge for a European spot. 🇫🇴⚽️ #Meistaradeildin
The new season of the Faroese top flight will kick off on the 6th March with newly promoted Argir hosting B68 Toftir. The other matches that weekend are B36 – EB/Streymur, NSÍ – Víkingur, 07 Vestur – KÍ and Skála – HB. 🇫🇴⚽️
