After the postponement of the original opening date in March, Faroe Islands’s top football league will finally start the new season this Saturday, 9th of May. And already in the first round fans can see last season’s top two teams playing against each other.  Last season’s champion, Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag, shortly just KI, will host B36 Torshavn, which finished only 3 points behind them.
