The Iceland men's national football team (Icelandic: Íslenska karlalandsliðið í knattspyrnu) is the national men's football team of Iceland and is controlled by the Football Association of Iceland.[4]

Although Iceland is one of Europe's smaller football nations, the football team has enjoyed success in the twenty first century. In the qualifying rounds for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Iceland reached the play offs before losing to Croatia. Iceland reached its first major tournament, UEFA Euro 2016, after a qualification campaign which included home and away wins over the Netherlands.

In doing this they became the smallest ever nation to qualify for a major tournament. Iceland was allocated to Euro 2016 Group F. Birkir Bjarnason scored Iceland's first major tournament goal in the 50th minute against Portugal in a group stage match.[5]

After advancing to the knockout stages of Euro 2016, Iceland defeated England in the Round of 16, advancing to the quarter finals, where they lost to France 5–2. Iceland finished 8th in UEFA Euro 2016, with 2 wins, 2 draws and only one defeat.

History

Although Úrvalsdeild, the Icelandic Football League, was founded in 1912,[6] the country's first international match was only played on 29 July 1930, against the Faroe Islands.[7] Iceland won away, 1–0. However, both teams remained unaffiliated with FIFA. The first match officially recognised by FIFA took place in Reykjavík on 27 July 1946; Iceland lost 0–3 to Denmark.[8] The first international victory was against Finland in 1947.[9] For the first twenty years of the Football Association of Iceland (KSÍ)'s existence, the team did not participate in qualifying for the World Cup or the European Football Championship. In 1954 Iceland applied to take part in qualification for the 1956 European Football Championship, but the application was rejected.[7] In qualification for the 1958 World Cup, Iceland came last in their group, with no wins, and with 26 goals against.[7] Since 1974, the team has taken part inempted to qualifying for every World Cup and European Championship, but until recently without success. In 1994, the team was awarded their then best ever position in the FIFA rankings, 37th.[10]

In qualification for Euro 2004, Iceland finished third of their group, 1 point behind Scotland.[11] If they had finished second, they would have made a playoff spot.[12]

In 2014, Iceland almost became the smallest nation to qualify for a FIFA World Cup.[13] Finishing second in Group D, they played Croatia in a two-leg playoff for qualification.[14][15] After holding them to a 0–0 draw in the home leg, they lost 2–0 away.[16]

Iceland qualified for a major tournament for the first time in 2015 after finishing second in Group A of qualification for Euro 2016, losing only two games, and beating the Netherlands, who had finished third in the 2014 World Cup, twice.[17] During the qualification, they reached their highest ranking in the FIFA World Rankings, 23rd.[18][19] They were drawn into a group with Portugal, Hungary, and Austria for the final tournament.

At the Euro 2016, Iceland recorded 1–1 draws in their first two pool matches against Portugal and Hungary. They then advanced from their pool with a 2–1 victory against Austria.[20] Iceland qualified for the tournament's quarter finals, after a surprising 2–1 win against England in the Round of 16.[21] They were eliminated by France in the quarter-finals, by 5–2.[22]
