Hásteinsvöllur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈhauːˌsteinsˌvœtlʏr̥]) is a multi-use stadium in Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland. It is located in the town of Vestmannaeyjar on the island of Heimaey. It is used mostly for football matches, and is the home ground of Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja (ÍBV). The stadium's capacity is 2,834.
