NordicLife Culture + Taste + History + Events + Personalities SOCCER WITH A VIEW Surrounded by majestic mountains and the open sea, Henningsvær is not just a small fi shing village. It's also home to the world's most beautiful soccer (known as football throughout much of the world) pitch. The local soccer club, Henningsvær IL, hosts its trainings and games here. Only about 500 people live on this southern island of Austvågøya in the Lofoten archipelago, which suits Henningsvær Idrettslag Stadion well considering its small capacity. There aren't any bleachers, so spectators can stand or park their cars to enjoy the games. sonsofnorway.com VIKING MARCH 2020 7 MARCEL STRELOW / ALAMY STOCK PHOTOhttp://www.sonsofnorway.com
