Körfuknattleiksdeild Hattar, commonly known as Höttur, is the basketball department of the Icelandic multi-sport club Íþróttafélagið Höttur.

Men's basketball[]

History[]

Höttur first achieved promotion to the top-tier Úrvalsdeild karla in 2005, after beating Valur in the 1. deild karla promotion finals.[2] It finished last in the 2005-2006 Úrvalsdeild, with 3 victories in 22 games, and was relegated back to 1. deild karla.[3][4] The team won 1. deild karla and was promoted to the Úrvalsdeild again in 2015[5] and 2017[6] only to be relegated back both times.[7][8] Höttur was on top when the 2019–20 season was cut short during the COVID-19 pandemic and was promoted to Úrvalsdeild karla. Despite winning 7 games, the team was relegated at the end of the 2020–21 season. On 18 May, Höttur hired Einar Árni Jóhannsson as a co-head coach alongside Viðar Örn Hafsteinsson.[9]
