Groffenord–Reykanes–Svedonia

On 16 April 2014, the three associations announced the interest of placing a joint bid. A year later on 9 April 2015, the Football Associations from Groffenord, Reykanes and Svedonia, submited to place a joint bid for hosting the tournament.

Previously, LFE 1963 had been held in Reykanes with Quebeschire. It would be 60 years ago that Reykanes hosted a LFE tournament.

The football Associations proposed three stadias per country to host at first. When the bid was submited, it changed to two stadias per country to fit the guidelines of the tournament. 6 stadiums will be available. The following are the host cities and stadia selected for the joint bid:

(Planned Stadium if selected)

(to be expanded to 50,000 if selected)

Most areas will have a good transportation system connected to the areas in mind. The stadiums will be in the centers of the cities with all the everyday necessities available closeby. All training, housing facilities will be located nearby. The region is famous for safety and low crime rates.

Originally Reykanes wanted to bid the Reykanesi Athletic Stadium with the others, however with the low capacity of 25,000 it would have been expanded to 30,000 but when the stadias numbers changed to 2 per country, the idea switched to build a new stadium in Cape Nátfari. The Cape Stadium would be built out of recycled containers and various building materials. It is designed to be easily built and dismantled. When the tournament ends it would be dismantled. Grindavíkurvöllur Stadium's extension would be reversed as well.
