FC Suðuroy is a Faroese professional football club which was founded in January 2010 and consists of the former clubs VB (founded in 1905) and Sumba (founded in 1949), which merged in 2005 to form VB/Sumba. FC Suðuroy's competes in the 1. deild since 2024. It plays home games at the á Eiðinum Stadium in Vágur.

History

VB/Sumba played in 1. deild (1. division, which is the second tier) in 2009 and won the division. FC Suðuroy therefore played their first season in the Faroe Islands Premier League, which was called Vodafonedeildin from 2009 to 2011. FC Suðuroy played their first league match on 1 April 2010 against the champions HB Tórshavn. The result was 4–4.[1] FC Suðuroy didn't make it in Vodafonedeildin, they were relegated and played in 1. deild in 2011. They won the division with 70 points[2] and were promoted to Effodeildin along with TB Tvøroyri, which is a club from the same island, Suðuroy.

After the end of the 2016 season it was decided on 15 December 2016 that the three clubs of the island Suðuroy, which are TB Tvøroyri, FC Suðuroy and Royn Hvalba would join for the 2017 season for the men's teams.[3] They played as TB/FC Suðuroy/Royn.[4] The three clubs continued separately for the children's and women's teams. In 2017 and 2018 it was only the men's teams which were playing for the new cooperation. In Faroese the team was referred to as Suðuroyarliðið or Suðringar (the Suðuroy-team).[5] The first head coach for the Suðuroy-team was Glen Ståhl.[6]

The cooperation ended after the 2018 season. FC Suðuroy played in the 2 division for two seasons. At the end of the 2020 season they won promotion to the 1. deild, the second best division.
