EB/Streymur is aFaroesesemi-professional footballclub based inStreymnes andEiði. The club was founded in 1993, as result of the merger betweenEB andStreymur. They have won theFaroe Islands Premier League twice and theFaroe Islands Cup four times.
The club is a result of a merger in 1993 betweenEiðis Bóltfelag, who were founded on 24 February 1913, andStreymur, founded in 1976.[1][2]Prior to the merger, bothEB Eiði and Streymur usually played their football in the second or third division. After the merger in 1993, the team still resided in the lower divisions, but this soon changed. With a newly built football ground at Mølin, Eiði, and a healthy injection of young talent, EB/Streymur chased promotion to the top flight. Among these players in were: Hans Pauli Samuelsen, Bárður Olsen (Haldórsvík), Brian Olsen (Tjørnuvík), Marni Djurhuus, Gert Hansen, Arnbjørn Hansen (Kollafjørður). With the help of veteran attacker Jón Sigurd Gleðisheygg, the team won promotion in the 1999/00 season, finishing in place second, behind B36.
EB/Streymur have since gained a foothold in the top division (Betri deildin), as title contenders. In 2006, following a mid-table finish the previous season, the club made a strong start to the season under Polish coach Piotr Krakowski, and led the league at the mid-summer break, having recorded a club record 8–2 win againstB68 Toftir.[3] With four matches left to play their lead at the top of the table was seven points. A dip in form followed, but the club went into the final match requiring a draw againstKÍ to win the title. However, a late KÍ goal, coupled withHB taking the lead in their match with two minutes remaining meant EB/Streymur were denied the title.[3] In 2007, the club again finished second, and played in European competition for the first time, losing 2–1 on aggregate to Finnish clubMyPa in theUEFA Cup first qualifying round.
Prior to the 2008 season, EB/Streymur had never won the Faroese championship neither before nor after the merger, however on 15 August 2007 and again on 14 June 2008, EB/Streymur won a trophy for the first time by winning theFaroe Islands Cup and its second by winning the Cup again as holders the year after. On 21 October 2008, after finishing as runners-up in the league two consecutive seasons previously, the club finally won its first championship, and thus the double in the 2008 season.
In July 2008, the club was drawn againstManchester City of England'sPremier League in the first qualifying round of theUEFA Cup 2008-09. Director Rólant Højsted announced that the home leg of the tie would be held at one of the larger grounds in the Faroe Islands, either Toftir or Tórshavn, as the club's við Margáir ground has a capacity of only 1,000. The tie, which was played in Tórshavn, ended with a defeat of 0 – 2 to Manchester City with goals coming in the first half fromMartin Petrov &Dietmar Hamann. The away leg was played at the Oakwell Stadium of Championship League side Barnsley Football Club rather than Manchester City's, City of Manchester Stadium due to the pitch being resurfaced. The pitch was re-surfaced as aBon Jovi Concert was a couple of weeks before the match.[4]
In 2012 EB/Streymur won their second league title.
On 25 September 2014, EB/Streymur lost one of the clubs best football players, the 22-year-old Gunnar Zachariasen, who died in a tragic accident on board a Greenlandic fishing trawler which was in Tórshavn in order to sell its fish. The accident happened while unloading fish from the trawler, something went wrong and a lot of boxes with frozen fish fell on top of Gunnar Zachariasen who died instantly. According to Rúni Nolsøe, EB/Streymurs coach, Faroese football had lost a very good football player.[5] He played 11 caps and scored 4 goals for theU21 Faroe Islands team.[6] EB/Streymur was supposed to play against NSÍ Runavík the a few days later, but the match was cancelled because of the death of Gunnar Zachariasen.
In recent years the club has often been predicted as relegation candidate, but usually finish in 6th to 8th position in the 10 team Premier League (Betri deildin), comfortably clear of relegation.
