Transfers Synthesis
Breidablik’s recorded movement shows an active exchange between domestic clubs, overseas teams and temporary loan pathways. Arrivals include direct transfers from KA Akureyri, IFK Norrkoping, Genoa, Haugesund, Sirius, Orebro SK and other clubs, alongside free-agent additions and several players returning from loans. Departures likewise combine transfers abroad and within Iceland with loans to Augnablik, Haukar, IR Reykjavik and FH hafnarfjordur, plus returns to former clubs and free-agent exits. The clearest pattern is not a confirmed net total but a blend of permanent movement, temporary placement and reintegration. Gabriel Saevarsson appears in multiple dated entries involving Keflavik, IR Reykjavik and Haukar, illustrating why individual lines require cautious reading. The available groupings cover selected recent activity rather than every transaction or a definitive seasonal balance.
Leagues Breidablik has participated in
Breidablik has a recent recorded presence in the Úrvalsdeild, Icelandic Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Friendlies Clubs, with participation records extending through 2025. Its European footprint includes the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League, also recorded through 2025. The Fotbolti.net Cup A and The Atlantic Cup appear as historical competitions, ending in 2022 and 2021 respectively. The list therefore combines a recent domestic and continental profile with a small number of older competition entries, without asserting participation in a specific 2026 tournament.
More about Breidablik
Breidablik is a football club from Kópavogur, Iceland, founded in 1950. It forms part of Breiðablik UBK, one of the country’s largest multi-sport organisations, whose football department sits within a wider community sporting structure. The club is associated with green and white colours and the nickname Blikar, a name connected with Breiðablik, the broad-shining home of Baldr in Norse mythology.
Kópavogsvöllur is the team’s home venue in Kópavogur, the municipality immediately south of Reykjavík. The stadium is a multi-purpose local sports ground with approximately 3,000 places, including about 1,700 seats. Its setting reflects the club’s suburban identity and its close connection with the surrounding sporting community.
On the pitch, Breidablik has developed a reputation for technical, proactive football and for giving homegrown players a clear route into senior competition. Youth development is a central part of the club’s culture, with academy graduates traditionally forming the foundation of the first team while selected international players add depth. That model has supported a durable presence near the top of Icelandic football, including the 2010 Úrvalsdeild championship and the 2009 Icelandic Cup victory.
Breidablik’s wider ecosystem also includes regular domestic cup and league involvement alongside European qualifying campaigns. The club reached the group stage of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League, which made it the first Icelandic football club to reach that stage of a major UEFA competition. Its men’s and women’s sections are both associated with Iceland’s top-level football landscape, reinforcing the organisation’s national sporting importance. Together, its Kópavogur base, multi-sport structure, youth pathway and European reach define Breidablik’s enduring place in Icelandic football.
