History and description
Torsvollur (Tórsvøllur) was built to provide the Faroe Islands with a new modern national stadium. It replaced Svangaskarð as the home of the Faroe Islands national team.
Torsvollur officially opened on 9 July 1999 with a friendly between the Faroe Islands national team and Danish side Aalborg. Over the years, various improvements have been made including the construction of additional cover and the installation of floodlights.
The stadium initially had natural grass, but switched in 2012 to artificial turf. The stadium has stands on three of the four sides, with an office building at one of the ends.
Besides being the home of the national team, Torsvollur also occasionally hosts European matches of the Faroe Islands clubs, though none play their league games at the stadium.
How to get to Torsvollur
Torsvollur is located in the north of the town of Torshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. The stadium lies less than a kilometre away from the town centre, which can be walked to in about 10 minutes.
Faroe Islands’ main airport, Vagar Airport, lies further away on Vagar island in the west, about 40 kilometres from Torshavn.
