History

Torsvollur officially opened on 9 July 1999 with a friendly between the Faroe Islands national football team and Danish side Aalborg Boldspilklub. A new stand was constructed with a multifunctional office building and a small seating section behind one goal in 2009. In August 2011, floodlights were introduced; these were first officially used for the football match between Faroe Islands and Italy on 2 September 2011. Though the stadium originally had a natural grass playing surface, artificial turf was added in 2012. In 2014, another new stand was added at another end, replacing a temporary tubular structure. A total renovation of the stadium was completed in 2021. The renovation included a new west stand with a media room, dressing room and 1,730 capacity.^[4][5][6]
