Aker Stadion Braces for Back-to-Back August Showdowns
Aker Stadion is set for a defining week of football as Molde FK host third-placed Tromsø in the Eliteserien on 16 August before Molde W take on LSK Kvinner in the Toppserien on 22 August. The double-header confirms the fjordside venue's status as the heartbeat of football in Møre og Romsdal. Season-ticket holders are also being encouraged to bring a friend along to help fill the stands.
A Stadium in Constant Demand
Aker Stadion — the fjordside home of Molde FK, opened in 1998 and capable of holding 11,249 supporters — is heading into one of its busiest fortnights of the 2026 season. Two home fixtures in quick succession are set to keep the venue humming through the rest of August, covering both the Eliteserien and the Toppserien.
The men's side host Tromsø IL in Eliteserien Round 18 on Sunday 16 August, a match that carries real significance near the top of the table. Tromsø currently sit third in the division, making the visit to Molde one of the most compelling top-flight contests of the weekend.
Women's Football Takes Centre Stage
Just six days later, on Saturday 22 August, Aker Stadion switches its focus to the women's game as Molde W welcome LSK Kvinner in Round 13 of the 2026 Toppserien. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:00, giving supporters the opportunity to watch top-flight women's football at their own ground in the heart of the city.
The back-to-back fixtures underline the stadium's dual-purpose role. Aker Stadion hosts both the men's Eliteserien programme and the women's Toppserien home schedule throughout the season, reflecting the club's commitment to the full breadth of the game.
Fans Urged to Join a Neighbour
Ahead of the busy stretch, Molde FK have issued a community call to arms, inviting supporters across the region to Aker Stadion and specifically challenging season-ticket holders to bring a friend along to a match. The initiative is a sign of the club's ambition to grow attendances at a ground whose facilities — including a restaurant, a café, ten kiosks and eight commentary boxes — are well equipped to welcome larger crowds.
Tickets for both the Tromsø and LSK Kvinner fixtures are available through the official Molde FK ticketing platform.
