Memorial Match Kicks Off an Emotionally Charged Week at Aker
Aker Stadium hosted a Minnekamp — a memorial match — on Monday 13 July 2026, bringing the Molde community together at the fjordside arena ahead of a packed summer fixture run. The event highlighted the stadium's role as far more than a venue for top-flight football. It was followed just days later by the eagerly awaited Eliteserien home clash against SK Brann.
A Moment for the Community
Before Molde FK turned their attention to Saturday's high-stakes Eliteserien clash with Brann, Aker Stadium opened its doors for a Minnekamp — a memorial match — on Monday 13 July 2026 at 17:00. The event brought the local community together at the fjordside ground for a occasion that carries meaning well beyond the scoreline.
Tickets for the Minnekamp were made available through the official Molde FK ticketing platform, with the club encouraging supporters to come out and share in the moment.
More Than a Football Ground
The memorial match is a reminder of Aker Stadium's broader role in Molde. Since its opening on 18 April 1998, the arena has served as a gathering point for the city — hosting concerts and cultural events alongside Eliteserien and Toppserien football. With a capacity of 11,249 and facilities including a restaurant, café, ten kiosks, and a sports clinic, the stadium is built to accommodate the full spectrum of community life.
Molde FK's women's side also call Aker Stadium home, with a series of Toppserien fixtures scheduled there throughout the rest of 2026, beginning with a tie against LSK Kvinner W on 22 August.
A Packed Summer Ahead
The Minnekamp preceded what is shaping up to be a relentless stretch of fixtures at Aker Stadium. After the Brann match on 18 July, Molde return to home soil to face Sarpsborg 08 FF on 2 August and Tromsø on 16 August, before the women's side take centre stage at the end of that month.
With top-flight visitors including Bodø/Glimt and Viking still to come later in the season, Aker Stadium's schedule through to late November ensures the arena will be buzzing long after the summer sun has faded over the fjord.
