The Iceland national football team is the national Football team of Iceland and is controlled by the Football Association Of Iceland . It has never advanced to the finals of any major international competition.

Perhaps its most notable match was a friendly against Estonia on 24 April 1996 in Tallinn . During the second half of this match, Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen entered as a substitute for his father Arnór . This marked the first time that a father and son played in the same international match. Another landmark for Icelandic football was the 2-0 upset victory over Italy in a friendly at Laugardalsvöllur with 20,034 fans in attendance, an Icelandic record.
