The KV men's basketball team is the men's basketball department of Knattspyrnufélag Vesturbæjar and is based in Reykjavík, Iceland.
History[edit]
KV's basketball department was founded in 2007 and its men's team first played in the Icelandic basketball league system during the 2010-2011 2. deild karla season.[1] It finished as the runner-up in the 2. deild in 2016[2] and 2018.[3] Prior to the 2018–2019 season, the team became affiliated with Úrvalsdeild karla club KR with KR's assistant coach, Arnoldas Kuncaitis, taking the reign of the team.[4] After the 2019–20 season ended prematurely due to the coronavirus pandemic in Iceland, KV was offered the vacant seat in the second-tier 1. deild karla as the team had the best record of the non-reserve teams in the league at the time of the cancelation.[5] After initially accepting the offer, they rescinded their decision a month later and the vacant seat went to Hrunamenn.[6]
