Iceland

 

Iceland. Fram Reykjavík and KA Akureyri won promotion from Second Division. In the top level there was one amusing thing – ÍB Vestmannæyjar used illegible player in the match with UB Kopavogur, which ended 2-2. The points were awarded to UB Kopavogur with deadly consequences for IBV: the lost point placed them second to last at the end. With it, they would have been safe, but now they were relegated along with ÍB Isafjördur, the last in the table. At the top there was lone favourite – Akranes. The only team to win 2-digit number of games – 10. By a sharp contrast, second-placed KR Reykjavík won only 5 matches, but tied 10 – more than 50% of the total games! So, confident champions.

Akranes also reached the Cup final, where they met ill-fated ÍB Vestmannæyjar and also prevailed – 2-1.

Winning was quite routine for IA Akranes by now – it was their 11th title and 5th Cup, yet this season was special: it was the first double won. Something to remember. Outstanding year.
