The Vikingur Chronicle
Match14 Sep 2026
Vikingur refuse to drop out of the race
Position 3, 13 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Tempers go at Vikingur
Gylfi Sigurðsson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Tarik Ibrahimagic beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Market14 Sep 2026
One of our own: Olafur Gudmundsson joins the Vikingur first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Olafur Gudmundsson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Haukur Bodvarsson joins the Vikingur first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Haukur Bodvarsson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Looking ahead14 Sep 2026
The big one: Valur come into view
Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. Vikingur will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Nikolaj Hansen gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Loan watch14 Sep 2026
Jochum Magnússon wants to come home
“I did not go to Fjolnir to sit and watch. I want to come back to Vikingur and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Matteo Dagasso: “I am not a substitute”
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Vikingur will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.
