The main airport is Keflavik International Airport which is about 32 miles
from the capital, Reykjavik. There is a small airport in Reykjavik it's
self but it doesn't handle international traffic.
We have played Iceland 4 times before and have won every game, twice at home
and twice away. The first set of games were World Cup 1986 qualifiers
where we won 3-0 at home, then 1-0 away. Second set of games were for the
Euro 2004 qualifiers where we won 2-0 away, and 2-1 at home.
Iceland home games are played at Laugardalsvöllur Stadium in Reykjavik.
It has a capacity of around 7,000. Last time Scotland played in Iceland we
were allocated around 1,000 tickets.
