    <abstract>We present a submission to the WMT25 test suite subtask, focusing on the capabilities of MT systems to translate sports-related language. Although many sports attract extensive media attention and feature a rich, polysemous language, often shaped by active neologism and community-driven translations, the sports domain has received relatively little focus in MT research. In English-Icelandic automatic translations, sports-specific vocabulary often appears to be mistranslated. Our test suite is designed to test whether this observation holds merit. We evaluate 34 systems, both automatically and manually, and find that sports language poses challenges to a varying degree for all the systems.</abstract>
