The knee: Hlynur Sævar Jónsson out for 121 days
121 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Fylkir lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match8 Aug 2026
Fylkir taken apart
0‑4 to Valur, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Ólafur Kristófer Helgason hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Fylkir can pretend not to have heard.

Orri Sveinn Segatta in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fylkir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Too dear: Fylkir walk away from Þorsteinn Emil Jónsson
$87.0K was the most the club would pay and Leiknir were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Fylkir promote Hordur Gunnarsson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hordur Gunnarsson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Jon Skulason steps up from the Fylkir academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jon Skulason has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Fylkir promote Alfred Smarason from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alfred Smarason has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Benedikt Daríus Garðarsson
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
