ÍF Fuglafjørður is a Faroese football team, based in Fuglafjørður. They play their home games at Fløtugerði. Between Faroese people, the team is only called ÍF.

At the end of the 2006 season, the club was relegated from the top league,Formuladeildin. In 2007 the club was again promoted to the top league, Formuladeildin. The team have had some difficulties this season, not by adjusting to Formuladeildin, but because the first team coach, Jón Simonsen, had to quit his job during the pre-season. Then ÍF hired old legend and Champion of the 1979 team, Ábraham Løkin Hansen, to take care of the team until a new coach was hired. Late in April the third coach this season arrived. As the new headcoach of ÍF was another old legend from the late seventees, David R. Jones, hired. Even though the team have had 3 coaches during this season and are newly promoted, they ended at a comfortable 6th place after the first half of the season. After two lost matches in the second half of the 2008 season, [ÍF] hired coach number 4 this season. The new coach is called Albert Ellefsen and is the former coach at Havnar Bóltfelag. Albert Ellefsen has won the faroese championship 2 times with Havnar Bóltfelag and is also coaching the U19 and U21 national team with Ábraham Løkin Hansen.

ÍF also used the transfer market during its opening in June and July. First Helgi L. Petersen was brought in from Tórshavn team Fram and close to the end of the transfer opening ÍF bought Andy Olsen for an undisclosed fee from NSÍ. ÍF also lost one player during the transfer window opening. Dánjal Pauli Højgaard left to his hometown team in Toftir, B68 Toftir.
