B36 Tórshavn B36 Tórshavn is a Faroese football club founded on 28 March 1936 in the archipelago's capital, Tórshavn. Its formation stemmed from a dispute among young players who could not find a place in the squad of the already established local club HB Tórshavn and decided to form their own team. The conflict over the right to use the Gundadalur stadium was settled by the mayor of Tórshavn, who ruled that the venue would be shared between the two clubs — a decision still symbolised today by the stadium's two main stands, bearing the names and colours of both B36 and HB.
The team, nicknamed Hvítir (The Whites) or the White Tigers, ranks among the most successful clubs in the history of Faroese football, having won 11 Faroese championship titles — the first as early as 1946, when it defeated VB Vágur 3–1 in the championship final. B36 has also won the Faroese Cup on seven occasions and the national Super Cup once, with its most recent league title coming in 2015.
The club regularly represents the Faroe Islands in European competition, and one of its more memorable episodes remains its rivalry with Welsh side The New Saints — after losing a Champions League tie 2–6 on aggregate in the 2015–16 season, B36 gained surprising revenge in the 2020–21 European campaign, drawing 2–2 in the sole match played and winning 5–4 on penalties to eliminate the Welsh side. In April 2024, the club announced an official partnership with Denmark's FC Copenhagen, aimed at supporting the development of young players.
Since its founding, B36 has played its home matches at the Gundadalur stadium, opened in 1911 and the oldest venue of its kind in the Faroe Islands. The club is known for favouring a technical, attacking style of play and for its consistent reliance on players developed through its own academy, many of whom have gone on to represent the Faroe Islands national team.
