HB

Make The Case

Here is the argument for HB: Faroe Islands, Europe UEFA Europa Conference League, and a ground called Gundadalur Stadium, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

• Old enough to matter

  1904 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.

• Something to defend

  The cabinet is not empty: Faroe Islands Premier League: 11 and Faroe Islands Cup: 7. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.

• Close to the pitch

  Gundadalur Stadium, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands holds about 5,000. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• You get a nickname

  Known as B36 White Tigers Hvítir. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
