Intility's Biggest Autumn Week: Women Win, Men Up Next on Sunday
Intility Arena is at the heart of Vålerenga football this week, hosting top-flight action from both the women's and men's sides within the space of three days. Thursday's Toppserien victory for the women's team has set the tone, with the men's Eliteserien clash against Fredrikstad now taking centre stage on Sunday 20 September. The double-header on the stadium's new artificial surface is the highlight of the Oslo venue's autumn programme.
A Week Like No Other at Intility
Intility Arena is in the middle of its most demanding home week of the autumn, with Vålerenga's women having already delivered a winning performance on Thursday and the men's Eliteserien side set to follow on Sunday afternoon. The back-to-back fixtures on the stadium's new artificial pitch represent one of the standout moments on Intility's 2026 calendar.
The newly installed surface — which replaced the previous turf ahead of the autumn programme — has already been put to the test across several home matches. Stadium officials have described the double-header week as a showcase for Intility Arena as a multi-team, top-flight venue in Norwegian football.
Women Deliver, Men on Deck
Thursday's 2-1 Toppserien win over Haugesund gave the week a flying start, with a sold-out atmosphere adding to the occasion. Now all eyes at Intility turn to Sunday's Eliteserien clash between the men's side and Fredrikstad, scheduled for kick-off at 14:30.
The upcoming match carries extra weight in the context of the season's home run, as Vålerenga look to build on the momentum generated by their women's team earlier in the week. The artificial surface has drawn positive attention from players and supporters alike since its installation.
How to Be Part of It
With two top-flight clubs sharing one stadium across just a few days, Intility Arena continues to cement its reputation as one of Oslo's most active sporting venues. Fans who missed Thursday's Toppserien match have the chance to experience the atmosphere first-hand when the men's side take to the pitch on Sunday.
Tickets for Sunday's Eliteserien fixture against Fredrikstad are available through Vålerenga's official ticketing platform. Discounted prices are available for eligible supporter groups.
