Elliði Vignisson, mayor of Vestmannaeyjar on the island of Heimaey in Vestmannaeyjar (the Westman Islands), has asked the town’s schools to postpone exams so students can support their local handball team, ÍBV, at the final on the Icelandic mainland tonight, visir.is reports.
ÍBV play against Haukar from Hafnarfjörður with the winner crowned Íslandsmeistarar (Icelandic champion).
Many ÍBV supporters are expected to make the trip to Hafnarfjörður for the game.
