Iceland

Iceland. May be insignificant, but the football marched on.

IBV won the Second Division championship with 39 points and returned to the top league.

Breidablik, 2nd with 37 points was also promoted. Good luck to both teams next year.

Two Reykjavik clubs ended at the bottom of First Division and relegated – Vikingur was last with 7 points and Trottur – 9th with 13 points. Up the table, there was clear divide in three groups – Vigur (Gardur), 8th with 16 points, FH Hafnarfjördur , 7th with 17 points, were well bellow the upper 6 teams, but still had quite a safe season. Then a group of 2 teams, much stronger than the last four, yet, much weaker than the top four: KR Reykjavík, 6th, and ÍB Keflavík, 5th, ended with 29 points each and goal-difference decided their final positions.

The top 4 teams were fairly equal, but small differences mattered. Fram (Reykjavík) – 4th with 34 points. Weak defense did them. Thor (Akureyri) – 3rd with 35 points. ÍA Akranes – 2nd with 36 points.

Valur (Reykjavik) won its 18th title with 38 points from 11 wins, 8 ties, and 2 lost games. 28-12 scoring record. Note, that Iceland introduced 3-points-for-a-win system. As it happened, it did not make any difference at the very top at the table – under the old system, Valur would have been champion with 2-point lead, just as it was now.

The Cup final was a contest between Fram Reykjavík and ÍB Keflavík. Fram won 3-1.

This was the 5th Cup won by Fram.
