Iceland's Valur show ambition
With the second qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Cup starting next month, uefa.com will take a detailed look at each of the 16 clubs looking to progress to the quarter-finals and beyond. Today, we look at Icelandic champions Valur Reykjavík.
Valur Reykjavík is one of Iceland's oldest and most prestigious sporting clubs - it was founded in 1911 by YMCA leader Fridrik Fridriksson at Hlídarendi. An female football division did not arrive until the 1970s but after narrowly missing out on the Icelandic championship in 1977, Valur's women took the title the following year. Three more championships followed in a golden era for the club between 1984 and 1990 when they were also six-time Icelandic Cup winners. Overall, the club has won the cup on ten occasions and the league seven times.
