About Fylkir

Fylkir is an Icelandic sports club based in the Árbær district of Reykjavík, founded on 28 May 1967. The men’s football team is one of the club’s main departments and competes in the top tiers of Icelandic football. The club plays its home matches at Fylkisvöllur and is traditionally associated with orange and black colours. It was originally established by young local players with a strong focus on community and youth development.

Fylkir spent much of its early history moving between divisions before gradually establishing itself in the top flight. The club reached the top division for the first time in the late 1980s and became more stable in the late 1990s. One of its most successful periods came in the early 2000s, when it finished near the top of the league and won the Icelandic Cup twice in a row in 2001 and 2002.

In European competitions, Fylkir has competed in qualifiers for UEFA tournaments, gaining experience against stronger international clubs. Although it has not become a dominant force in Icelandic football, the club has produced several notable players and remains an important part of Reykjavík’s football culture. Today, Fylkir continues to compete at a professional level while maintaining its strong local identity and emphasis on player development.
