Icelandic clubs Aron Einar Gunnarsson signs with Qatar SC as Breiðablik faces Aktobe in Kazakhstan

Icelandic forward Aron Einar Gunnarsson announced his departure from Þór Akureyri after just one league match, signing a contract with Qatar SC. In a letter to supporters he described the decision as “very difficult” and pledged to return to the club once his professional career ends.

Meanwhile, Breiðablik travelled to Aktobe, Kazakhstan, for the second round of the league’s championship series. Coach Ian Jeffs named a starting eleven that included goalkeeper Herdís Halla Guðbjartsdóttir and defender Edith Kristín Kristjánsdóttir, while forward Ólöf Sigríður Kristinsdóttir was absent on a study program in the United States. The match determines whether the team will compete for a third‑round title spot or fight to stay in the European competition.
