Club career

Career start in Njarðvík

Ingvar Jónsson was born on October 18, 1989 in the port city of Keflavík in southwest Iceland. He began his career as a football player in the junior division of Ungmennafélag Njarðvíkur, who are underclassed in football and are especially known for their basketball department. He was trained by the Icelandic trainer Freyr Sverrisson and was used early on for the club from Njarðvík in various tournaments and championships. At the club from the neighboring town he made the leap into the men's team in 2006 and was used in it from then on. At the then Icelandic third division team he was only used in a single league game in the 2006 game and was briefly awarded to the then Icelandic second division team Knattspyrnufélag Akureyrar , in which he did not, however, complete a single championship game. With the team from Njarðvík, he was the strongest attacking and defensive team this season, one point behind Knattspyrnufélag Fjarðabyggðar, runner-up in the 2nd deild karla and so rose to the second highest football league in the country.

Nothing is known about appearances in the following game year , although it can be assumed that, as in the following seasons, he acted as a budding regular. With the team, he ranked eighth in the table in the final standings. In the 2008 game he was used in all 22 league games of his team, but could not prevent relegation in eleventh place at the end of the year. But also in 2009 Ingvar Jónsson acted as a regular in the goal of Ungmennafélag Njarðvíkur and was used again in all 22 league games, where he had to accept the fewest goals conceded with the team in this season. Five points behind Íþróttafélagið Grótta , he and the team were again runner-up in the Icelandic third division and rose again to the 1st deild karla. In this he was used in 20 of the total of 22 league games, but could not prevent another relegation to the third highest division in the country as twelfth and thus last place. Ingvar Jónsson, who had now spent five years playing in the men's team, did not go back to relegation and instead switched to the first division club UMF Stjarnan , where he was soon promoted to a regular after he was previously on the bench or not in the official squad was.

First division debut with UMF Stjarnan

After Magnús Karl Pétursson had guarded the goal in the first five rounds , Ingvar Jónsson was used from the sixth championship round by coach Bjarni Jóhannsson as the goalkeeper in all the remaining 17 championship games. In the final ranking of the Pepsideild 2011 , he and his team ranked fourth in the table and barely reached a Europa League qualifying start position. In the following years UMF Stjarnan was represented in the top group of Icelandic first class and Ingvar Jónsson continued to support the team as number 1 in goal. In 2012 he was used by Bjarni Jóhannsson in all 22 league games over the full game and was also in action before the start of the season in the so-called Fótbolti.net Cup , a tournament of the two highest Icelandic football leagues, in which he moved into the finals with the team and behind Breiðablik Kópavogur won the silver medal. He was also in action with UMF Stjarnan in the 2012 Icelandic Football Cup , where he also made it to the finals with the team, but was defeated 2-1 by the record cup winners and record champions KR Reykjavík . In the league he reached fifth place this time and also just barely missed a Europa League qualification starting place.

In the 2013 season, the club from Garðabær finished third in the final ranking with 43 points behind runner-up FH Hafnarfjörður and champion KR Reykjavík, thus securing a starting place in the first qualifying round of the 2014/15 Europa League season . Also in the Icelandic Football Cup 2013 UMF Stjarnan was under the leadership of Logi Ólafsson successful and settled again in the final, this time against Fram Reykjavik , one. The team was only subject to the club from the capital Reykjavík after the penalty shoot-out . Furthermore, Ingvar Jónsson and his team were in action in Deildabikar , the Icelandic league cup, where he and his team were eliminated in the semifinals of the 2013 edition against Valur Reykjavík . Over the entire season, he came to appearances in 19 league games, as well as in four cup and as many league cup games. However, he rose to be the best Icelandic goalkeeper of the year the following year, 2014. This year he took part with the team as a regular in the Europa League qualification , where he advanced unbeaten with UMF Stjarnan through three rounds to the play-offs, the fourth qualifying round. There, too, he was used in both games against Inter Milan , although the Icelanders were clearly inferior to the Italians with 0: 9 on both legs and were eliminated from the tournament just before they entered the group stage.

In the league it was just as successful for the team coached by Rúnar Páll Sigmundsson . After UMF Stjarnan ranked second behind FH Hafnarfjörður for most of the year, the team from Garðabær turned it around in the last championship round and took first place with one point and in 22 games unbeaten before the team from Hafnarfjörður . This qualified for participation in the 2nd qualifying round of the 2015/16 Champions League season , where, however, without Ingvar Jónsson's participation, they were defeated by Celtic Glasgow with a total score of 1: 6 from the first and second leg. Ingvar Jónsson was, mostly as team captain , in 21 of the 22 league games in action and let Sveinn Sigurdur Jóhannesson come first in only one game . He was also a regular player in the 2014 Icelandic League Cup , when he played for his team in all eight games and was only eliminated in the quarter-finals against eventual runner-up FH Hafnarfjörður. A sudden end, after two finals in a row, followed in the Icelandic Football Cup 2014 , when he and the team were defeated by the capital city Þróttur Reykjavík in the second round . Before the start of the season he won the gold medal with the team at the Fótbolti.net Cup of 2014. At the end of the season he was voted “Player of the Year” by his teammates in the Icelandic first class.

Change to Norway

After the successful game year 2014, the goalkeeper, who was meanwhile courted by various clubs, was given free of charge to the Norwegian first division club Start Kristiansand , where he was unable to prevail in the competition for the position as regular goalkeeper with the former Norwegian international Håkon Opdal . Round mostly just sat unused on the bench. He made his Tippeligaen debut, which was also his only first division appearance this year, in the fifth round on April 30, 2015 in a 3-2 defeat against Rosenborg Trondheim , when he was in goal for the full 90 minutes. During this time he also made two appearances in the Norwegian Football Cup in 2015 , when he and the team were eliminated from the current tournament in the second round against third division club Vindbjart FK . Due to the hopelessness of a breakthrough in the highest Norwegian football league, it was awarded to the Norwegian second division team Sandnes Ulf in July 2015 until the end of the season . When shunting at this time on the second place and over a longer period by the rise of fellow club from Sandnes he came as a goalkeeper for use and was of the same from the beginning Bengt Saeternes used, another former Norwegian national team in all 15 remaining league games. After he only achieved seventh place in the final ranking with his team, who had been relegated from the top class in the previous season and only barely managed to make it into the promotion round due to the poorer goal difference, he returned to his ancestral club in Kristiansand . This in turn did not get beyond a 14th place in the table and had to compete in the relegation against FK Jerv , with Start Kristiansand emerged as the winner with 4-1 from the two-way leg and secured the stay in the highest Norwegian football league.

After his return to Kristiansand, it wasn't long before Ingvar Jónsson, now four-time Icelandic international , changed clubs again. After his one-year contract expired, he joined the Sandefjord Fotball club, which had just been relegated from the Tippeligaen , with whom he started the 2016 game year . Here he was occasionally (as of May 19, 2016) used in seven of the eight championship games as a regular from coach Lars Bohinen and ranks with the team in second place behind Levanger FK , while his ex-club from Kristiansand is still after eleven league games ranked last place in Norwegian excellence without a win.

National team career

Ingvar Jónsson gained his first experience in an Icelandic national football team in 2008 when he first appeared for the Icelandic U-19 juniors . He came under coach Kristinn Rúnar Jónsson in all three qualifying games of the elite round for the U-19 European Championship 2008 against the age colleagues from Bulgaria , Norway and Israel . As second in the group behind the Bulgarians, he did not make it into the European Championship finals in the Czech Republic with the Icelanders . It then took about three and a half months before the young goalkeeper was called up again for the Icelandic Association. Under coach Luka Kostić , he made the leap into the Icelandic U-21 squad and made his debut for them on August 20, 2008 in a friendly international match against Denmark's U-21s , when he lost 2-0 from the 71st minute Guarded his team's goal and replaced Þórður Ingason .

It took four years before he was called up again for an Icelandic national team; in a 2-0 win in a friendly against the Faroe Islands , he was second goalkeeper behind Hannes Þór Halldórsson , but was not used as such. Again it would take a little more than two years before the next convocation took place. This time, the coaching team brought him Lars Lagerback and Heimir Hallgrímsson for the first three qualifying matches for the Euro 2016 in the senior national team of his home country . After clear victories over Turkey , Latvia and the Netherlands , Iceland quickly took the lead at the top of the group; Ingvar Jónsson was in all three games without a substitute on the bench. Just over a month after the last World Cup qualifying match, the coaching duo brought him into the Icelandic national team for a friendly against Belgium . In the second half of the 1: 3 defeat he came on for Ögmundur Kristinsson and made his senior national team debut .

After he was only a substitute and not used in the subsequent European Championship qualifier against the Czech Republic in November 2014, he was called back to the national team at the beginning of January 2015 for two friendly internationals against Canada . After around 25 minutes in the first encounter, he was again unused on the bench in the second game against the Canadians. When he was also out of action in the fifth qualifying match against Kazakhstan and was also out of action in the friendly match against Estonia that took place three days later , he was no longer in the official Icelandic squad in the second part of the European Championship qualification and was mostly only treated as the third goalkeeper during this time . With the Icelanders, he made it into the European Championship finals in France for the first time in Icelandic football history, finishing second behind the Czechs .

A few months passed before Ingvar Jónsson was called up in November 2015 by the Lagerbäck – Hallgrímsson coaching team for two friendly matches against Poland and Slovakia in the Icelandic senior national team. While there were no appearances here, he was called up for two friendly international matches against Finland and the United Arab Emirates in January 2016 and used over half or the entire game. After he was not in the official squad against the US national team at the end of January 2016, he returned to the squad for two friendly internationals against Denmark and Greece at the end of March 2016 and was again without action. With the national team, he will take part in the European Championship for the first time in June and July 2016 . At the tournament in France he was included as the second substitute goalkeeper in the squad of Iceland , but was also not used.
