With the increase in professional and consumer drone photography in the second decade of the 2000s, the Henningsvaer Fotballbanen (football pitch) has gained global attention. The European football organisation, UEFA, filmed on and around the field for their "We Play Strong" video with Liv Cooke. Pepsi Max Norge offered their support for the UEFA Champions League Final in 2018 with an art installation created by children kicking footballs covered in paint. The field is managed by Henningsvaer IL football club under the leadership of Ole Johan Wiik, as of 2018.
