Double Header at Intility: Women and Men Both in Home Action
Intility Arena hosts a busy week of football with Vålerenga's women taking on FK Haugesund in the Toppserien on 17 September, followed by the men's Eliteserien clash against Fredrikstad on 20 September. Both fixtures land on the newly installed artificial surface at the Oslo venue.
Toppserien Action Returns to Intility
Intility Arena is set to stage top-flight women's football this week as Vålerenga host FK Haugesund in Round 16 of the 2026 Toppserien. The match is scheduled for Thursday, 17 September, with kick-off at 16:00 UTC.
The fixture marks another occasion when both the men's and women's sides share the Intility Arena stage in the same week, a double home fixture weekend that the club has flagged as a highlight of the autumn programme.
Men's Side Up Next on 20 September
Just three days after the Toppserien clash, attention turns to the Eliteserien when Vålerenga's men face Fredrikstad in Round 22. That fixture on 20 September carries extra weight: Fredrikstad recently suffered a heavy 6–1 defeat at Intility Arena earlier in the season, and will be looking to avoid a repeat on the same ground.
Fredrikstad currently sit eighth in the Eliteserien table, three points clear of the relegation play-off position, meaning the visit to Oslo carries significant pressure for the away side.
A Fortnight to Define the Season
With two home matches in quick succession across the men's and women's competitions, the coming fortnight at Intility Arena could prove pivotal for both Vålerenga sides. The stadium's new artificial surface — laid ahead of this run of fixtures — will be put through its paces, and supporter turnout is expected to be strong across both occasions.
Fans are encouraged to book tickets in advance through the club's official ticketing platform, where discounted prices are available for eligible groups.
