Reykjavik Einherjar Icelandic American Football Season 2016-17 [Ref: 1-2]

Report

Iceland’s sole American Football team, Reykjavik Einherjar, played two games over 2016-17, losing narrowly by one point to Eidsvoll 1814s, one of Norway’s top teams, and then defeating German Division 5 side Starnberg Argonauts 48-14. Quarterback Bergbor Phillip Palsson was the driving force behind the team.

To top off a great year for Iceland’s only American Football Team, the Reykjavik einherjar, the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings paid them a visit. The Icelandic team finished the 2017-18 season with a 2-2 record, losing to England’s Ouse Valley Eagles and Austria’s Carinthian Lions, but defeating Spanish Division 1 side Mallorca Voltors and Swedish Semi-Finalists Uppsala 86ers.

Rejkjavik Einherjar, Iceland’s only American Football Team, just got better and better in their third season, 2018-19. After destroying Germany’s Cologne Falcons 50-0, and then triumphing confortably, 56-22 over Sweden’s Tryeso Royal Crowns, they faced their stiffest test yet, when they travelled to New York to take on Semi-Pro side Empire State Wolfpack, losing 36-7. They then finished the season with a 28-42 loss to Finland’s Runners-Up, Kuopio Steelers.
