Hønefoss W Claim All Three Points at Aker Stadion
Molde W fell to a 0–1 home defeat against Hønefoss W on Sunday afternoon in Round 15 of the Toppserien. Hønefoss took the lead before half-time at Aker Stadion and held on for the full ninety minutes. The result leaves Molde W with work to do in the second half of the season.
Hønefoss Spoil the Party at Aker Stadion
Molde W's afternoon in the sunshine turned sour on Sunday as Hønefoss W arrived at Aker Stadion and left with all three points, winning 0–1 in Round 15 of the Toppserien. The visitors took the lead inside the first half and never relinquished it, with the scoreline reading 0–1 at the break and remaining unchanged through the second forty-five.
The result is a setback for Molde W, who came into the match sitting sixth in the Toppserien table with five wins, three draws and six defeats from fourteen outings — a tally that had kept them comfortably in mid-table. Hønefoss, by contrast, had struggled for consistency on the road heading into the fixture.
A Busy Weekend on the Artificial Surface
Sunday's match was the latest instalment in what has become a defining feature of Aker Stadion's 2026 calendar: the ground is now firmly established as a dual-purpose venue, staging Toppserien women's football and Eliteserien men's football in close succession across the same autumn programme.
Molde W have used the Molde arena as their permanent home base throughout the entire 2026 Toppserien campaign. With its capacity of 11,800 and artificial surface, the stadium has proved well-suited to hosting top-flight women's football, and Sunday's match was contested on a pitch that also saw the men's side defeat KFUM Oslo 2–0 just one week earlier.
Eyes Already Turning to Next Weekend
Attention at Aker Stadion now shifts swiftly to the men's side, who welcome Aalesund on Saturday 19 September in what promises to be one of the more eagerly anticipated Eliteserien fixtures of the autumn home run.
Molde W, meanwhile, will look to bounce back when they host Vålerenga W on 26 September — another home tie that keeps Aker Stadion at the heart of Norwegian women's football deep into the autumn. Tickets for both upcoming fixtures are available through the official Molde FK ticketing platform. Ground regulations, including restrictions on visiting colours and a ban on bottles inside the arena, apply to all matches.
