Ham-Kam Next Up at Intility as Glimt Clash Looms Large
Vålerenga host Ham-Kam at Intility Arena on Friday 31 July with a 17:00 kick-off, the first home Eliteserien outing since the impressive mid-July win over Aalesund. The match also serves as a warm-up act for the eagerly awaited visit of Bodø/Glimt on 8 August, already being billed as one of the home games of the season.
Oslo Derby Spirit Lives On
Ham-Kam's visit to Intility Arena on Friday 31 July carries with it more than just three Eliteserien points. The match is the next opportunity for the Vålerenga faithful to fill the east-Oslo stands after a summer that saw the stadium buzz with derby energy — and following the thumping 6–1 win over Aalesund in mid-July, confidence inside the ground is high.
Kick-off is set for 17:00, and with the new artificial turf freshly installed, conditions for attacking football should be ideal.
Bodø/Glimt the Prize on the Horizon
Should Vålerenga take care of business against Ham-Kam, attention will quickly shift to the visit of Bodø/Glimt on 8 August. The northern giants remain among the leading forces in Norwegian football, and their arrival at Intility Arena — scheduled for a 12:00 start — is already being circled by supporters as a landmark home fixture.
The head-to-head record between the two clubs shows Vålerenga have won two of the recent meetings at Intility, adding extra intrigue to the tie.

Fans heading to the Ham-Kam match on 31 July are reminded that Intility Arena operates strict ticketing zones.
