KFUM Oslo Head to Sarpsborg Stadion in Must-Win Matchday 22
Sarpsborg Stadion is gearing up for another high-stakes Eliteserien evening as KFUM Oslo visit on Friday 18 September. The fixture is the second home match in just eleven days for Sarpsborg 08 FF, who are keen to respond after dropping points against Vålerenga. Club officials are urging supporters to pack the 8,022-seat venue for what could be a pivotal night in the club's season.
A Packed Home Calendar
Sarpsborg Stadion is entering one of its most action-packed periods of the entire 2026 Eliteserien season. The 8,022-capacity ground is set to host KFUM Oslo on Friday 18 September — the second home fixture in just eleven days — as Sarpsborg 08 look to bounce back from the heartbreak of the late 2-2 draw against Vålerenga.
The condensed home schedule represents what is being described as the busiest short-run spell the stadium has seen all campaign, and a major opportunity for the club to gain ground in the table.
Why This Match Matters
Sarpsborg 08 currently sit ninth in the Eliteserien on 24 points, and the home fixture against KFUM Oslo on Matchday 22 is shaping up as a pivotal moment in the second half of their season. KFUM Oslo and Sarpsborg 08 have already met once this season in the Eliteserien, making Friday evening's clash at Sarpsborg Stadion a potentially decisive second encounter between the sides.
With the season heading into its latter stages, the importance of converting home matches into victories is not lost on the club's management or supporters.
Fans Urged to Pack the Stands
Club officials are calling on supporters to fill Sarpsborg Stadion and create the kind of atmosphere that can make a difference on the pitch. Tickets for the 18 September fixture are on sale through the club's official channels.
Beyond the KFUM Oslo clash, Sarpsborg 08 also have a NM Cup last-32 tie away to Follo FK pencilled in for 30 September, meaning the coming weeks will be among the most demanding of the season. For now, though, all roads lead back to Sarpsborg Stadion on Friday night.
