==Other Information==
*For the first 10 years of Vikingur's history, the team only lost one match. In that period Vikingur scored 58 goals and conceded 16. The team did not win a single title in that time because they did not yet have a senior side. It wasn't until [[1918]] that the team first competed in the Icelandic league.
*Vikingur have had players from [[Stoke City F.C.]] on loan before. In [[2004]] they also had two players on loan, Jermaine Palmer and Richard Keogh.
*The last time Vikingur played in the Icelandic top-flight, the team was relegated by conceding a 90th minute goal in their last match of the season against [[Ungmennafélag Grindavíkur|UMFG]].
*While Vikingur's fan base is rather small, they have got a fan club in Dublin, Ireland, which goes by the name of "Jerry Palmer's Barmy Army"- dedicated to the former Vikingur goal machine.
