It was called 1. deild kvinnur until 2018, when the Faroese top tier in the women's football for the first time was named after a sponsor.
The new name was Betri Deildin kvinnur and is a deal for five years, from 2018 until the end of the 2022 season.
KÍ dominated the league from 2000, winning it seventeen times in a row,[3] establishing a new world record for consecutive championships won.
"[5] After being runners-up four consecutive times, EB/Streymur/Skála ended KÍ's winning streak in 2017,[6] becoming only the second club to represent the Faroe Islands in the UEFA Women's Champions League,[7] and defended their title in 2018.
For the 2018 season, the league gained its first sponsorship deal, when the FSF announced that Betri, a bank and insurance company headquartered in Tórshavn, would sponsor the men's and women's leagues, thus changing 1. deild kvinnur's name to Betri deildin kvinnur.
