The 2014 Úrvalsdeild karla (Men's Select Division) is the top tier of the Icelandic football
pyramid. Because of the harsh winters in Iceland, it is generally
played in the spring and summer (May to September). It is run by the Football Association of Iceland (KSI) and currently comprises 12 clubs.
From 27 April 2009, the Úrvalsdeild have been known as Pepsi-deildin
(Engl. "The Pepsi League") after KSÍ and Ölgerðin (the producers of Pepsi in Iceland) signed a three-year sponsorship contract.
The top division consists of 12 clubs. Each club faces every other
club twice during the season, once at home and once away. At the end of
each season, the bottom two clubs are automatically relegated to the
second level of the Icelandic league system, the 1. deild karla (First
Division), with the top two clubs of the First Division automatically
promoted to the Úrvalsdeild.
