Denver has an official bar for Iceland supporters during the World Cup

Calling all Icelanders: Per agreement with the consulate of your tiny country — the smallest ever to qualify for soccer’s FIFA World Cup — the Celtic Tavern in LoDo has been named the official Denver bar for Iceland supporters during the quadrennial spectacle, which begins next week in Russia.

Also welcome are the countless fans of other nationalities who have adopted the Iceland team out of admiration for its underdog emergence in the world’s most popular game. Iceland is the size of Kentucky and has a population slightly larger than Aurora.
