Facilities

The whole Leiknir area is newly renovated and is in excellent condition. In 2008 the club opened its new facilities which replaced the old cabin that had served as the club's office and dressing facility since 1987. The current facilities are a 700 sq m club house, artificial turf with heat, main stadium and total of 4 practice grounds. One practice ground is called Þorsteins-völlur, named on 7 September 2012 in memory of 9-year-old Þorsteinn Björnsson, a former player of the youth department in Leiknir.

Seasons

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Leiknir currently plays in 1. deild karla, the second tier of Icelandic football. In 2014 the men's football team placed 1st in the 1. deild karla and won a promotion to the Úrvalsdeild, for the first time in the clubs history, however after just one season they were relegated to back to the first division. In 2021 they returned to the top flight having finished second in the 2020 season and this time they managed to finish 8th.

Support

The organized supporters of Leiknir are known as Leiknisljónin, translated in English as the Leiknir's Lions. Founded in 2015 they have been the main supporter group of Leiknir. In 2022, Leiknir got its second unofficial faction, a youth faction called Ghetto Boys. The club's anthem is In the Ghetto made famous by Elvis Presley and is played before every home game.
