Inni í Vika
AB vs. FC Suðuroy on 23 October 2010 at Inni í Vika; the home team won 1–0.
From August 2013 until early March 2015, the stadium was also known as Blue Water Arena, after an sponsorship deal with Danish transport company Blue Water.[4]
Upgrades in 2010edit
On 29 July 2010, the Faroese National Day, Inni í Vika was reopened after being upgraded. The stadium got a new football field and a new sitting area with roof on the western side of the pitch from the Municipality of Tórshavn, which Argir is a part of. Jógvan Arge, who is chairman for Cultural Affairs of Tórshavn Municipality, held a speech and the mayor of Tórshavn Municipality Heðin Mortensen made the first football kick, kicking the ball to the chairman of AB Andrass Drangastein.[5] Mr. Drangastein also gave a speech and after receiving the ball from the mayor, placed it in the center of the new artificial football field, ready for the match between AB and EB/Streymur.[6]
