Home of Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar (FH), Kaplakriki pulled the highest average league attendance in Iceland in 2016 — 1,541 fans per match. The wider complex is more than a football ground: a handball arena that held the 1995 World Men's Handball Championship, a track-and-field facility opened in 2014, and an indoor football hall named Risinn (The Giant) all share the site.
What to look for
- The handball arena, which seated 3,000+ for the 1995 World Men's Handball Championship
- Risinn (The Giant), the indoor football facility on the grounds
- The 2014 all-season track and field arena beside the main pitch
Located in Hafnarfjörður, roughly 10 km south of central Reykjavik; check FH's match calendar before visiting — the stadium is liveliest on match days.
