The Faroese Football Championship is played in the first division of men's football in the Faroe Islands . It was founded in 1942 and was called Meistaradeildin ( German  champions league ) until 1975 , 1st Deild (German: 1st league ) from 1976 to 2004 and Formuladeildin from 2005 to 2008 after its main sponsor, the Faroese IT company Formula . From 2009 to 2011 Vodafone acted as namesake of Vodafonedeildin . After the departure of the main sponsor, the energy company Effo was announced as a new sponsor on February 27, 2012 , so that the league will bear the name Effodeildin for the next three years from the 2012 season . On December 15, 2017, Betri Banki was presented as the new sponsor, so that the league has been called Betrideildin since the 2018 season . The term is initially valid until 2022.

In addition to the Betrideildin, there is the 1st , 2nd and 3rd Deild (corresponds to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th league) and the 1st and 2nd Deild for women .

development

The home of second division team Skála ÍF in Skála .

In the Meistaradeildin , founded in 1942 , the champion was determined in qualifying games in the early years, and in 1943 the maximum number of twelve teams played. Regular participants were B36 Tórshavn , HB Tórshavn , KÍ Klaksvík , MB Miðvágur , SÍF Sandavágur and TB Tvøroyri, and from 1943 SÍ Sørvágur and VB Vágur . It was not until 1947 that a closed amateur league was established, in which all the aforementioned teams took part except for TB Tvøroyri. Each team played once against each other, promotion and relegation was not yet regulated in the Meistaradeildin . In 1948, MB Miðvágur, SÍF Sandavágur and SÍ Sørvágur no longer took part in the game operation, with the latter team the game operation almost came to a standstill due to the fishing carried out in the summer months, which is why regular games could no longer be guaranteed. Instead, the B teams from B36 Tórshavn and HB Tórshavn took part, at HB also in the following year. From 1949 TB Tvøroyri was again a permanent member of the league, so that from 1950 five teams played against each other for the first time twice to determine the master. This mode as well as the league composition was largely maintained until 1970. Exceptions were the years 1951, 1953–55 and 1960–65, in which VB Vágur did not participate in the league. In 1964, after KÍ Klaksvík withdrew, there were only three participants who competed against each other once. From 1971 ÍF Fuglafjørður took part for the first time , so that now six teams were playing for the title in the league.

After the first Deild was introduced in 1976 with seven teams and a permanent relegated team, each team continuing to play twice against each other, the increase to eight teams took place three years later. That's why there was no relegation in 1978. In 1988, the next expansion to ten teams was carried out with from then on two permanent relegated teams, which is why relegation was suspended again the year before. In the 1991 season, the clubs were able to qualify for the first time for the European Cup , which was played in 1992/93, via the league and cup placement . In 1995, the three-point rule was introduced in the 1st Deild , and from this season there was a relegation game of the ninth-placed against the runner-up in the 2nd Deild . In 2001, when the points were equal, the direct comparison between the teams involved was introduced as the first decision criterion, but was abolished again in 2006. Since then, as before, goal difference and goals scored are the first criteria. From 2005, at the same time as the name was changed to Formuladeildin after the new main sponsor, the number of league games was increased to 27, so that each team plays three times against each other. By 2016, the five teams with the highest points from the previous season played 14 home games, the other teams 13. In the following year, the relegation game was also abolished and there have been two more permanent relegations since then. In 2009, after a change in the main sponsor, the company was renamed Vodafonedeildin . The naming rights were initially granted for the next three years. In 2012, after Vodafone left, the company was renamed Effodeildin for the next three years. The league has been called Betrideildin since 2018 .

Current mode

In the Betrideildin , each team plays against each other three times on 27 match days. Since 2016, five drawn teams have played 14 home games, the other teams 13. The team with the highest points at the end of the season is champions of this league, the last two teams are relegated to the 1st Deild , provided that the two potential promoters are among the top three teams . If there is a tie, a decision will be made based on the goal difference and then on the goals scored. If there is still a tie after that, a playoff will be played on a neutral pitch. Due to the placement in the UEFA five-year ranking , the champions are entitled to qualify for the Champions League and the runners-up and thirds in the table are entitled to qualify for the UEFA Europa League . The cup winner will also take part in qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. If this is also the Faroese champion, the cup finalist will take part in qualifying for the UEFA Europa League instead. If the cup winner is in second or third place at the end of the championship, the fourth-placed will advance to the UEFA Europa League.

Yellow and red cards

If a player receives five yellow cards in the course of a season , they are suspended for the next league game. If there are two more yellow cards, the league will be banned again. If a player sees the red card in a league game , a ban will be issued for at least one competitive game, depending on the severity of the offense. It does not matter whether the next match is a league or a cup game.

Transfer window

Until 2007, the clubs could sign players at any time. The clubs have been tied to two transfer windows since 2007. The first ends at the end of February, the second takes place during the summer break between the end of June and the end of July.

Nationalities

player

Since 1947 89% of all missions have been carried out by Faroese. Serbia (2.6%) has the largest share of foreign players, followed by Denmark (1.8%) and Poland (1.4%). In 2019 the distribution was 86% Faroese. The largest share of foreign players was again Serbia with 3.7%. It was followed by Denmark (3%) and Norway (2.1%).

Trainer

Since 1947, the teams in the first division have been looked after by 187 different coaches, of which 85 (45%) were Faroese. The largest foreign contingent was made up of the Danes with 43 trainers (23%), followed by the Icelanders with 16 trainers (9%) and the Serbs and Yugoslavs with 14 trainers (7%).

Participant season 2020

Television rights

In 2009 the television rights for the next four years for the record sum of 64 million DKK were awarded to the sports rights agency Kentaro . Previously, the rights were held by Sportfive , which paid around DKK 11 million.

spectator

On average, the games are attended by around 500 spectators. Certain derbies generate an increased number of spectators, for example between B36 Tórshavn and HB Tórshavn . Games by B36 Tórshavn, HB Tórshavn and EB / Streymur against KÍ Klaksvík and games by EB / Streymur and NSÍ Runavík against HB Tórshavn as well as general top games usually also attract between 1000 and 2000 spectators, in exceptional cases up to 3000.

referee

Usually local referees lead the games. As of the end of the 2019 season, the active referees with the most appearances in the first division are Eiler Rasmussen (316 games) as well as Petur Reinert (299) and Dagfinn Forná (271). Since 2005, individual games have been refereed every season by foreign referees, who, apart from the Brazilian referee Alex Troleis, who lives in the Faroe Islands and who has meanwhile become naturalized, come exclusively from the Nordic countries . This was previously the case in 1991.

Since 1968, Heri Nolsøe (1969, 1971, 1972, 1976) and Símun Petur Justinussen (1985, 1986, 1991, 1992) have won the title of top scorer most often. Klæmint Olsen (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019), Christian Høgni Jacobsen (2005, 2006, 2010), Beiggin Johannesen (1974, 1975), Uni Arge (1993, 1997), Jákup á Borg (1998 , 1999), Súni Fríði Barbá (1995, 2000), Arnbjørn Theodor Hansen (2008, 2010) and Finnur Justinussen (2009, 2011). Klæmint Olsen scored the most goals with 26 (2019). In 1975 eight goals were already enough for the title, but only ten games were played per team. Furthermore, the Englishman Dave Jones, the Swede Sveinbjørn Danielsson, the Icelandic Egill Steinþórsson, the Ivorian Sylla Amed Davy, the Brazilian Clayton Nascimento and the Nigerian Adeshina Lawal with the titles won in 1977, 1980, 1989, 2007, 2012 and 2017, respectively, are the only ones foreign players who could become top scorer.

Among the teams, HB Tórshavn was the top scorer most often with twelve titles. The other multiple successful teams are NSÍ Runavík with eight, B68 Toftir and GÍ Gøta with six each, B36 Tórshavn with four, EB / Streymur, ÍF Fuglafjørður, KÍ Klaksvík, TB Tvøroyri and Víkingur Gøta with three each and VB Vágur with two titles.

Worth mentioning

  • HB Tórshavn is the only club that has played in the first division (including Meistaradeildin ) every year .
  • In addition, GÍ Gøta (ascent in 1980) also had to accept no decline. This team went on in 2008 after a merger in Víkingur Gøta .
  • From 1966 to 1970 KÍ Klaksvík won five championships in a row.
  • The closest championship went to KÍ Klaksvík in 1952, who prevailed against TB Tvøroyri due to the better goal quotient . Only one goal made the difference.
  • The reigning champions have so far been relegated from the first division twice. In 1988 TB Tvøroyri was hit, and in 1990 B71 Sandur .
  • The most common runner-up was HB Tórshavn (20 times), followed by B36 Tórshavn (15), KÍ Klaksvík (11) and TB Tvøroyri (10).
  • The best placement as a climber was achieved in 1989 when B71 Sandur won the championship title straight away. In 1988, B36 Tórshavn reached third place as a climber. Fourth place went to GÍ Gøta (1980), B68 Toftir (1981), ÍF Fuglafjørður (1988) and MB Miðvágur (1990) in their promotion season .
  • ÍF Fuglafjørður changed the class most often between the first and second division. There was an ascent or descent six times each. This is followed by NSÍ Runavík , TB Tvøroyri and B71 Sandur, each with five ascents and descents.
  • In eleven years there were relegation duels for promotion and relegation between the ninth placed in the first division and the runner up in the second division, most recently in 2005. Most of them denied B71 Sandur with four and lost them all. Overall, the first division team was nine times victorious, the second division only twice.
