The gorgeous sceneries of the small plain village in the South of the capital Tórshavn could easily compete with Gjógv and Saksun, the real treasures of the Northern Islands. It might also attract thousands of tourists from all over the globe with its lovely church of 1974 and the harbor with boathouses. But instead, Argjar, or Argir as the locals call It, with the population of less than 2000 people, gathers hundreds of fans of the football club AB Argir at its stadium. Even though it’s just one of the ordinary football fields located on the island of Streymoy, this stadium is known all over the world. Due to its location between the Norwegian sea and lake Niðara Vatn, the soil on one of the most significant sports sites of the Faroe Islands meets all the standards of a football field perfectly. 

The most Northern stadium of the country and the most Southern stadium of the island is called Skansi Arena and considered a multifunctional sports site of Argir. Although right now it is a home ground of the club Argia Bóltfelag and is mostly used for football matches. A village club EB used to locate there. In 1993, it merged with another bigger club Streymur. 

The stadium was built in 1983 and it has only one tribune with 415 seats. But the stadium is capable of accomodating up to 2000 people if needed. On the Faroese National Day in 2010, the stadium was reopened after the latest upgrade. As a result, it got a new artificial turf and a comfortable roofed rest area. On the occasion of such a remarkable event there was a match between AB Argir and EB/Streymur, and the mayor of the city Tórshavn Heðin Mortensen made the first kick on the new football field. 

Despite the severe Northern climate, there are many open football clubs within the Faroese territory, and the national team of the islands takes part in qualifying matches of the World Cup and the European championship.
