The club was founded 1 January 1968 as Nólsoyar Ítróttarfelag - often abbreviated to NÍF - representing the isle of Nólsoy, even though the team played its matches in Tórshavn. The club changed their name to FF Giza on 1 January 2010.[1] Their hometown was also changed from Nólsoy to Tórshavn.[2] In 2012 the two clubs FF Giza and FC Hoyvík merged into Giza/Hoyvík.
