What marks this place is not the architecture, but the way the pitch is set against that immediate slope.

The surface is synthetic, a requirement for the climate as much as for the schedule.

This is the home of the club that grew from the merger of Norðragøta and Leirvik in 2008, the same year the stadium opened. It has hosted internationals, including a heavy defeat to Iceland back in 1982 and recent European qualifiers against teams like FH and KAA Gent. The capacity is modest, around 3,000 people, which means the stands feel close to the action. There is no separate website for the ground itself, but the club’s site, vikingur.fo, lists the fixtures played here. The location is simply known as Sarpugerði, with the postal code 512 for the wider Gøta municipality.
