HB Tórshavn
Also written as HB Torshavn.
The club
Havnar Bóltfelag, known as HB, were founded in October 1904 in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, with the club's first board elected on 14 November that year. They play at Gundadalur, the national stadium area in Tórshavn, which has a capacity of 5,000. The chairman is Ransin N. Djurhuus. The feed calls them "HB Torshavn"; the club itself writes the name as Havnar Bóltfelag Tórshavn, commonly shortened to HB Tórshavn or just HB.
HB Tórshavn is not KÍ Klaksvík, the club from the Faroe Islands' second town, nor is it Víkingur Gøta, the club from Gøta on Eysturoy: all three are among the leading sides in the ten-team Faroese Premier League and the distinction matters because HB and KÍ in particular have spent the last two decades trading the championship, while Víkingur has been the leading challenger from outside those two in recent seasons.
Recent seasons
HB won the Faroese title in 2018 and 2020. Since then KÍ Klaksvík has been the dominant club: HB finished second in 2025 with 20 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from 27 matches, 64 points, 70 goals scored and 35 conceded, behind a KÍ side that went unbeaten. HB's finishes in the intervening 2021 to 2024 seasons were not established from the sources read here beyond the club's record of continuing to reach domestic cup finals in that span. As of late August 2026 HB were second in the ten-team 2026 Faroese Premier League table.
