History

Although football was one of the first sports practiced at Íþróttafélag Reykjavíkur, it's football department was not formally founded until 7 March 1939. In 1943, Guðmundur S. Hofdal, the former trainer of the Olympic gold-winners Winnipeg Falcons, was hired as a coach. In 1944 it fielded a senior team in the national tournament for the first time. After losing the first game 0–8 to Fram, the team withdrew from the tournament.[1] It played in the top-tier Úrvalsdeild karla in 1998 when it was relegated after the last game of the season.[2]
