The U21 national team starts in Klaksvík on Saturday night

There has been a big change in the U21 national team, where most of the players who played the last qualifying tournament became too old.

In addition, there is a new coach, Ólavur Mikkelsen, who has experience as among other things. assistant coach at Víkingur and previously coach of the second best team at Víkingur.

Although the substitution has been large, there are some players who have seriously made a difference this season. The big star is Áki Samuelsen from Ranheim, who has been among the best players in the Obos-league according to statistics. He would probably have been in the Icelandic national team if he hadn’t been U21. Another is Heini Sørensen from HB, who has been among the most prominent on the HB team this year. And so there are many Klaksvíkingar, although most of them play with other clubs. KÍ has one player with them and it is Dávid B. Andreasen, who has made a breakthrough this year and who will probably get a role, although he has not played an U21 national game before.

The first game is at home against Estonia and this is probably one of the games in the otherwise strong group, where the greatest chance is to get points. 

The match in Klaksvík starts at 18:0 18.00.
