After the end of the 2016 season, it was decided on 15 December 2016 that the three clubs of the island Suðuroy, which are TB Tvøroyri, FC Suðuroy and Royn Hvalba would merge into a new club for the 2017 season.[2] The merger will not be complete until 2018 and the name will be all three names together for the 2017 season: TB/FC Suðuroy/Royn.[3] The three clubs have not been dissolved yet, they continue separately for the children's and women's teams. In 2017, it will only be the men's teams which will play for the new cooperation. In Faroese, the new team is referred to as Suðuroyarliðið (the Suðuroy-team).[4] The first head coach for the Suðuroy-team is Maurice Ross.[5]
