The club is located in Grafarvogur, Reykjavík. The club was founded in 1988 under the original name Ungmennafélagið Grafarvogur (Grafarvogur Youth Club); however, because another team already had the abbreviation UMFG, the name was changed to Ungmennafélagið Fjölnir, commonly referred to as Fjölnir.
