It was founded in 1976 and is organized by the Faroe Islands Football Association. It was originally called 3. deild but became 2. deild after a reorganization of the Faroe Islands football league system in 2005. History The league was founded in 1943 and was named Meðaldeildin (The Middle Division): this was 1 year after the founding of the Meistaradeildin (The Champions Division), the original top level Faroe Islands football league. There was no automatic promotion and relegation system at the time, and the two leagues operated separately from each other. This was partly because Meðaldeildin was mostly made up of B teams from the clubs in the Meistaradeildin. In 1944 all leagues in the Faroe Islands had to be suspended due to a shortage of footballs, caused by World War II and the British occupation of the Faroe Islands. The league then resumed in 1945. From 1943 to 1975 it was called Meðaldeildin, then the league structure changed in 1976. The Meistaradeildin was renamed 1. deild and the Meðaldeildin was renamed 2. deild. Also from that season onwards, the winner of 2. deild was promoted to 1. deild. The first club to be promoted was Fram Tórshavn after they won the division for the first time in their history, though they finished bottom of 1. deild the following season and were relegated back into 2. deild. The latest change to the league was made in 2005, when 1. deild was renamed as Formuladeildin for sponsorship reasons; 2. deild adopted the name of 1. deild; the third tier was renamed 2. deild and the fourth tier became 3. deild. It currently has 10 participating teams. At the end of each season, two teams are relegated and two promoted from what is now the fourth tier, pending the fact that the winning team in any given division doesn't already have a team in the division it is being promoted to. In such cases the team that finished second will be promoted in its stead. If a team is relegated to a division where one of its teams are already playing, the second best team will move one division down, thereby saving another team from relegation. At the end of the 2008 season, Fram, who were set to be renamed FC Hoyvík for the 2009 season and AB II finished in the promotion places. Fram (now FC Hoyvík) were promoted to 1. deild, while AB II would only be promoted if their 1st team finished in one of the promotion places in 1. deild. AB's first team eventually won promotion into the Vodafonedeildin, finishing runners-up in 1.Deild. However, AB II were denied promotion to 1. deild and MB Midvágur who finished 3rd in 2. deild, were promoted instead. Because AB II who finished 2nd, had used illegal players. Though there is still an ongoing debate whether they finished 2nd or 3rd and which team should have been promoted. The following season in 2009 MB Midvágur finished bottom in 1. deild, only picking up 8 points and were relegated back into 2. deild. Meanwhile AB Argir II won the 2. deild in 2009 and were promoted to 1. deild. 2. deild seasons SeasonWinnerRunner-up3rd PlaceTop goalscorer1976KÍ II1977Royn Hvalba1978SÍ Sørvágur1979TB II1980Leirvík ÍF1981SÍF Sandavágur1982SÍ Sumba1983HB II1984VB II1985EB Eiði1986B71 Sandoy1987SÍ SørvágurSkála ÍFHB Tórshavn II1988GÍ Gøta IIB36 Tórshavn IITB Tvøroyri II1989Fram TórshavnRoyn HvalbaÍF Fuglafjørður II1990KÍ Klaksvík IIStreymurTB Tvøroyri II1991HB Tórshavn IIEB EiðiB36 Tórshavn II1992B68 Toftir IINSÍ Runavík IIStreymur1993HB Tórshavn IINSÍ Runavík IIÍF Fuglafjørður II1994HB Tórshavn IIIFS Vágar IIGÍ Gøta IIFRO Rodmund Rasmussen (FS Vágar II, 24 goals)1995B68 Toftir IISkála ÍFB71 Sandoy IIFRO Petur Gaardlykke (B68 II, 27 goals)1996Royn HvalbaB36 Tórshavn IIGÍ Gøta IIFRO Odd Eliasen (ÍF II, 21 goals)1997GÍ Gøta IINSÍ Runavík IIVB Vágur IIFRO Heini Heinason (GÍ II, 28 goals)1998Skála ÍFGÍ Gøta IIIB68 Toftir IIFRO Bogi Gregersen (Skála, 19 goals)1999B36 Tórshavn IIB68 Toftir IIÍF Fuglafjørður IIFRO Tórálvur Poulsen (B36 II, 18 goals)2000Skála ÍFB36 Tórshavn IIIB71 Sandoy IIFRO Svend Eli Poulsen (AB, 22 goals)2001VB Vágur IIRoyn HvalbaÍF Fuglafjørður IIFRO Allan Michelsen (Royn, 18 goals)2002AB ArgirB68 Toftir IIGÍ Gøta IIFRO Johnny Samuelsen (AB, 11 goals)2003Royn HvalbaGÍ Gøta IIEB/Streymur IIFRO Gisli Sveinbjørnsson (Royn, 18 goals)2004GÍ Gøta IIHB Tórshavn IISÍ SørvágurFRO Heini Gaard (HB II, 20 goals)2005SÍ SørvágurKÍ Klaksvík IIB68 Toftir IIFRO Jens Erik Rasmussen (SÍ, 14 goals)2006NSÍ Runavík IIB36 Tórshavn IIEB Streymur IIFRO Fróði Jóanesarson (NSÍ II, 15 goals)2007B68 Toftir IIGÍ Gøta IIEB/Streymur IIFRO Leif Niclasen (EB/Streymur II, 16 goals)2008Fram TórshavnAB Argir IIMB MiðvágurFRO Jørgen Meitilberg (Fram, 20 goals)2009AB Argir II07 Vestur IIEB/Streymur IIFRO Karl Jóhan Djurhuus (07 Vestur II, 16 goals)2010Skála ÍFFC Hoyvík II07 Vestur IIFRO Karl Jóhan Djurhuus (07 Vestur II, 18 goals)2011KÍ Klaksvík IIB68 Toftir IIB36 Tórshavn IIFRO Bjarki Vágstún (KÍ II, 14 goals)FRO Búi í Hjøllum (B68 II, 14 goals)2012B36 Tórshavn IITB Tvøroyri IIGiza HoyvíkFRO Jákup T.
