There is a discrepancy in numbers between the above set of figures, which presumably includes the total number of foreigners playing in Icelandic football in men’s and women’s senior competitions in all divisions, and the one below, which deals with the number of players in Icelandic men’s football’s top four divisions from 2010-12 inclusive. There were no figures available for the 4. deild karla (fifth-level, regional, division), and there are, as yet, no overall figures available for 2013.
