A knee injury of the worst kind for Sölvi Sigmarsson
58 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fjolnir lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match12 Oct 2026
Every point is an argument now for Fjolnir
Position 12 and 4 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fjolnir this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Fjolnir have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Radim Šudák falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Fjolnir cannot find the net
4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Vikingur go through and Fjolnir go home, 0‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
