TB/FC Suðuroy/Royn
TB/FC Suðuroy/Royn was a Faroese football club based in Trongisvágur. The team was a result of a merger between all three clubs from the island of Suðuroy: Tvøroyrar Bóltfelag, FC Suðuroy and Royn Hvalba. The agreement about the merger was so late that there was not enough time to find a new name and identity for the club, so the name was a combination of all three names of the clubs. The name was too long to use, so the media started to use the word ''Suðuroyarliðið'' instead, which means ''The team from Suðuroy'' and the supporters and the chairmen had agreed upon using the word ''Suðringar'', which means ''People of Suðuroy''. The team got off to a very good start in the 2017 season. They had a new manager, the Scottish former international player Maurice Ross, and they had bought three Norwegian players. They also bought former FC Suðuroy player Jón Krosslá Poulsen and former TB Tvøroyri player Poul Ingason, who both had been playing for teams in the mid- an ...
