Molde vs. Brann: A Summer Showdown at Aker Stadion
Molde FK welcome Brann to Aker Stadion on 18 July in one of the standout Eliteserien home fixtures of the summer. The match follows a community memorial match staged at the fjordside arena just days earlier, capping a week that highlights the stadium's central place in Molde life.
A Pivotal Home Date at the Fjordside Arena
Molde FK return to Aker Stadion on Saturday 18 July for their Eliteserien round-14 clash against Brann, one of the most eagerly anticipated home fixtures of the summer. Kick-off is set for 18:00, and the match gives Sindre Tjelmeland's side the chance to build momentum in front of their own fans after a 2–2 draw away at Aalesund on 11 July.
Molde currently sit fifth in Eliteserien with 20 points, and a home victory against Brann would send a clear message in the title race.
High Stakes on and off the Pitch
The Brann fixture is the highlight of a loaded week at Aker Stadion. The ground also hosted a Minnekamp — a community memorial match — on Monday 13 July at 17:00, underlining the stadium's role as far more than just a matchday venue. The back-to-back events reflect the kind of packed fixture schedule the 11,249-capacity arena carries throughout the Norwegian football summer.
Aker Stadion, opened on 18 April 1998 and designed by architect Kjell Kosberg, has been laid on artificial turf since 2014. Owned and operated by Molde FK, it regularly stages concerts and cultural events alongside competitive football.
A Season Still Full of Big Occasions
With the Brann game done, supporters have plenty more to look forward to at Aker Stadion. Sarpsborg 08 visit on 2 August, followed by Tromsø on 16 August, before derbies with KFUM Oslo and Aalesund later in the autumn. Title contenders Bodø/Glimt are also scheduled to make the trip to Molde on 22 November, with Viking rounding off the home programme on 6 December.
Molde W's Toppserien schedule adds further action to the calendar, with LSK Kvinner W, Vålerenga W and Stabæk W all due at the stadium before the season closes. Fans are encouraged to check the official Molde FK ticketing platform for availability ahead of what promises to be an extended and exciting home run.
