The staff of Iceland Rugby would like to thank all the members and voters for their trust.

As we enter a decisive era for Rugby in Iceland, let’s focus on what is most important: to grow the greatest sport inside our borders so we can make sure to rise outside our borders.
I strongly believe Iceland has the potential to be a relevant rugby nation in Europe; so let’s pave the way for that!
