About HB Tórshavn

Havnar Bóltfelag, commonly known as HB Tórshavn, is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in the Faroe Islands. Founded in 1904 in the capital city of Tórshavn, the club plays its home matches at Gundadalur stadium and competes in the top division of Faroese football. It was originally established by local workers and has remained a central part of the country’s football culture ever since.

The club played an important role in the early development of football in the Faroe Islands, participating in some of the first organized matches and later becoming a founding member of the national league in 1942. After several near successes, HB won its first major titles in 1955, achieving both the league championship and the inaugural national cup. Over time, the team became increasingly dominant, especially in domestic cup competitions, where it set records for consecutive victories and total trophies.

Today, HB Tórshavn is regarded as the most decorated club in Faroese football, with numerous league titles and cup wins to its name. The club has also represented the Faroe Islands in European competitions since the early 1990s, following the country’s admission to UEFA. Despite the challenges of competing internationally, HB remains a leading force domestically and an important symbol of Faroese football tradition.
