Transfers Synthesis
The movement record shows a mixed pattern of loans, free-agent arrivals, direct moves and returns from temporary spells rather than a single type of recruitment activity. Recent additions include M. Thordarson from Fram Reykjavik on loan, S. Lárusson as a free agent from Valur Reykjavik and Adam Robertsson as a free agent from Grindavik. The same period includes several returning players, while the departures include free-agent exits, loans to Thróttur Vogar and returns to clubs such as Fram Reykjavik and KR Reykjavik. Some names appear in more than one movement entry or in abbreviated and full forms, so the movement record is best treated as a grouped recent sample rather than a complete transfer ledger. No recorded fee is provided, and the entries do not establish a reliable total or net balance. Overall, the recorded activity reflects varied player-status changes across the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Leagues Throttur Reykjavik has participated in
Throttur Reykjavik’s recorded competitions include the Reykjavik Cup, 1. Deild, Cup and League Cup. The Reykjavik Cup is the most recently recorded competition, with participation extending through 2026. The 1. Deild, Cup and League Cup each have records through 2025, making them recent parts of the club’s documented competitive programme. Earlier records cover 2. Deild in 2022 and Úrvalsdeild in 2016; these are historical entries rather than current indications. The list spans league and cup football across Iceland’s domestic system.
More about Throttur Reykjavik
Throttur Reykjavik is an Icelandic football club based in Reykjavik and founded in 1949. Its official identity is Knattspyrnufélagið Þróttur, while Throttur Reykjavik and Þróttur Reykjavík are established forms of the name. The club is associated with red and white colours and with the Laugardalur valley, a part of the capital closely connected with Icelandic sport. Home football has traditionally been staged around the district, including venues linked with Valbjarnarvöllur and later local artificial-turf facilities. This setting gives the club a compact, community-scale matchday character and a strong connection with its neighbourhood. Þróttur’s history reaches beyond its senior football side. The organisation has long been described as a multi-sport club, with activity and traditions extending into handball, volleyball and winter sports. Its organisational model is described as a democratic multi-sport general assembly, with football managed as a distinct department. That breadth places football within a wider civic and sporting network, while youth development and a pathway into the senior setup remain important parts of the club’s ecosystem. The nickname Köttarar, meaning The Cats, is another marker of local identity, and red shirts with white shorts and socks preserve a recognisable visual tradition. The football department has occupied a durable place in Iceland’s domestic structure. Its recorded competitions include the top-flight Úrvalsdeild in an earlier period, 1. Deild, 2. Deild, Cup, League Cup and Reykjavik Cup. That range reflects movement through the country’s league system as well as involvement in domestic cup competitions, without implying a current division from historical records alone. The club’s documented roots in a former British military barrack also point to the social foundations of its earliest years, when the clubhouse served as an important gathering place. Throttur Reykjavik remains identifiable as a longstanding capital club shaped by community, multi-sport continuity and Icelandic domestic football.
