AKUREYRI, Iceland — From the kitchen window of their small cottage, Bianca Sierra and Stephany Mayor can see the soccer stadium where they practice every day. Mayor says she is living the dream here, playing first division soccer in Iceland’s top division and sleeping so close to the field.
“It’s like being in La Masia,” she said, invoking Barcelona’s famous clubhouse, which sits in the shadow of the team’s Camp Nou stadium.
But Mayor and Sierra had a different dream when they moved to this isolated fishing city at the mouth of a fjord: They simply wanted to play on the same team while living openly as a couple.
