Football with Þróttur - Old Boys

Though I have been in Iceland for several years, however it was just last year I started playing  football with local club (Þróttur) in Old-boys group. Usually people ages from 30s, 40s and 50s group are organized in regular training schedule  3-4 times a week.  Personally, I am very impressed the way training, match and social events as well as tournaments are organized. Though my intention of playing in such group is a) integrate more into the community, b) socialize and c) having fun being physically fit. Yes, Although you can see once in while those  aggression from some individuals but it mainly remains in the pitch which is good :)

I would recommend everyone to explore "Þróttur Oldboys group"  if you are looking for playing football in regular basis and have fun. Actually, it is well organized both on and off the pitch, welcoming friendly players ( well, you have to count  and ignore those have extraordinary talent & professionalism attitude similar to you see sometime in the premiere league staff screaming their players:) ), I do not think you will be disappointed whatsoever.

By the way, during the summer there is a league organized by the KSI for these group. I was bit of lucky to play last summer - it was indeed fun.
