Women Seal Comeback Win to Kick Off Intility's Biggest Autumn Week
Vålerenga Women edged FK Haugesund 2–1 in a tense Toppserien encounter at Intility Arena on Thursday. After a 1–1 first half, the hosts found the decisive goal to send the Valle Hovin crowd home happy. The result sets the stage for an even bigger fixture when the men face Fredrikstad on Sunday.
Drama on the New Turf
Vålerenga Women delivered one of the most entertaining home performances of the 2026 Toppserien season on Thursday evening, coming from behind in the second half to beat FK Haugesund Women 2–1 at Intility Arena. The match had ended the first half level at 1–1, before the hosts found a way through in the second period to claim all three points.
The result continues Vålerenga Women's strong home form on the newly installed artificial surface at Valle Hovin, which has already hosted a series of high-profile fixtures this autumn.
A Packed House for a Big Week
The victory came in the middle of what the club has billed as its biggest autumn week at Intility Arena, with the men's Eliteserien side now preparing to face Fredrikstad on Sunday 20 September — just three days after the women's triumph.
The back-to-back home programme has galvanised supporters, with tickets for Sunday's men's clash already in high demand. Fans are reminded that tickets are available through the club's official ticketing platform, with discounts for students, seniors, military personnel and children.
Intility in Fine Form This Autumn
The women's win follows a positive run of results across all squads using the stadium. Vålerenga II have also been impressive on home soil, with back-to-back wins cementing Intility Arena's reputation as a fortress this season.
Gates open 90 minutes before kick-off on matchdays. The club's no-re-entry and no-smoking policies remain in force, and away supporters are directed to the designated sections in blocks 201 and 202.
