Wikipedia - Faroe Islands Premier League
The Faroe Islands Premier League (also known as Betri deildin menn for sponsorship reasons) is the top level of football in the Faroe Islands. It was founded in 1942 as Meistaradeildin, and it is played in current format since 2005, when Premier League replaced 1. deild as the country's top football division. The league is organised by the Faroe Islands Football Association.
It is contested by 10 clubs. At the end of every season, two teams are relegated and two promoted from 1. deild.
As of February 2024, the Faroe Islands Premier League is ranked 38th out of 55 leagues in the UEFA coefficient.
History
The league was founded in 1942, although clubs did not take part in European competitions until 1992, because the Faroe Islands Football Association joined UEFA only in 1990. From 1942 to 1946, the competition was played in a knockout format, and from 1947 onwards in a league format.
Before the creation of the Faroe Islands Football Association in 1979, the league was organized by the Faroe Islands Sports Association. The only time a season was not played was during the British occupation in 1944, when a lack of footballs caused the season to be cancelled.
The league was known by several names; from its foundation in 1942 until 1975, it was known as Meistaradeildin. It changed its name to 1. deild in 1976 and introduced promotion and relegation system. Since 2005 the league has had different sponsored names, being called Formuladeildin from 2005 to 2008, Vodafonedeildin from 2009 to 2012, Effodeildin from 2012 to 2017, and since 2018 Betri deildin menn.
The Faroe Islands Premier League, known locally as "Betri deildin," is the top-tier professional football league in the Faroe Islands, showcasing the best talent and teams from this picturesque archipelago in the North Atlantic. Established in 1942, the league has grown in stature and competitiveness, becoming a focal point for football enthusiasts both locally and internationally.
The tournament features a unique format, with teams competing in a round-robin style, where each club plays every other team twice—once at home and once away. This structure not only fosters intense rivalries but also ensures that every match is crucial in the race for the championship title. The league typically runs from early spring to late autumn, allowing teams to battle it out in varying weather conditions, which adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement.
Clubs in the Faroe Islands Premier League are known for their passionate fan bases and community spirit, with matches often drawing enthusiastic crowds to stadiums nestled against stunning natural backdrops.

In addition to the league title, teams also compete for qualification spots in European competitions, providing an opportunity for Faroese clubs to showcase their talent on a larger stage. The league's commitment to developing local talent and promoting the sport at grassroots levels is evident, making it a vital part of the Faroe Islands' cultural fabric.
