Awards

Player of the year

The 2. deild player of the year for 2007, selected by the KSÍ, was Selfoss striker Sævar Þór Gíslason. He returned to the club in January 2007, having left 10 years previously to join ÍR. [3] Gíslason was the league's top scorer with 20 goals in 18 matches, including a hat-trick against Magni on the final day of the season. [4]

Young player of the year

Ásgeir Þór Ingólfsson, left-midfielder for Haukar, was awarded the young player of the year award for 2007. Aged just 16 at the start of the season, he scored 10 goals from midfield in his debut campaign in senior football. His performances earned him a call up to the national under-19 side in September. [4]

Manager of the year

Ragnar Hauksson, player-manager of KS/Leiftur, was named 2. deild coach of the year for 2007. His team had been predicted to finish seventh in the league before the start of the season, but they exceeded expectations and sealed promotion to the 1. deild with a final-day win against Völsungur. His 10 goals for the club during the 2007 season also led to him being selected in the team of the year. [4]
