About the player
Ari Sigurpálsson left Iceland for Italy while still a teenager and came back without a senior appearance for Bologna. He had started out at HK in Kópavogur, and the move to Bologna followed in 2019. He then played for the club's Primavera side, making 18 league appearances without scoring. In February 2022 Víkingur Reykjavík signed him for €25,000.
Víkingur is where his career took shape. Over three seasons he played 65 league games and scored 18 goals. The medals came with them: the Icelandic league title in 2023, the Icelandic Cup twice and the Icelandic Super Cup twice. He also finished as the club's top scorer in European competition during his time there.
His youth international record shows an earlier pattern. He scored three goals in six matches for Iceland at under-15 level and another three in six at under-16. He then played at under-17, under-18 and under-19 level without scoring. At under-21 level he won nine caps and scored twice.
In March 2025 he moved to Sweden and IF Elfsborg, signing a contract that runs until the end of 2029. His first season there brought 26 league appearances and four goals. By July 2026 he had made 19 league appearances in the new campaign and scored four times, the same total as in the whole of the previous year.
