B68 Toftir , full name Tofta Ítróttarfelag B68 shortly B68 , is a Faroese football club based in Toftir on the island Eysturoy .

history

The association was unofficially founded in 1962 , but its official founding date is December 21, 1968 . After promotion to the highest Faroese league, the 1. Deild in 1981, the football club was able to win the Faroese football championship, called føroyameistaraheiti , in 1984, 1985 and 1992 . In addition, B68 was in the 1995 cup final , but lost to HB Tórshavn 1: 3. At the end of 2004, the club rose from bottom of the table in the 2nd Deild. After the immediate resurgence, the second last to relegate in 2006. B68, however, was able to win the title in the second division and played in the Betrideildin since 2008 . In 2012, however, the relegation followed. After a first place in the second division and the last place in the first division, the direct promotion was achieved in 2015. After not winning a single victory, B68 has been playing second class again since 2017. There the team was the second-best A-team in the first season, but fourth place did not entitle to promotion, for this at least third place should have been taken. The same scenario happened a year later. After the away game against Víkingur Gøta II on the last match day had to be canceled after 13 minutes when the score was 0: 0 and the two direct competitors in second and third place, NSÍ Runavík II and KÍ Klaksvík II , lost their games due to the worse goal difference a simple win is enough to overtake both teams. When the game was rescheduled a day later, however, it remained 0-0, so that all three teams were tied.

The home games are played in the Svangaskarð stadium (natural turf) with a capacity of 5,000 or on the Svangaskarð sports field (artificial turf) in front of a maximum of 2,000 spectators.

The club was active several times in international football, but was always eliminated in the first round of the respective competition. In the UEFA Intertoto Cup he was able to achieve a respectable success on June 23, 2001 with a 0-0 draw against the Belgian club SC Lokeren .
