Two Must-See Fixtures Ahead at Lyse Arena: Zagreb and Aalesund
Lyse Arena is set for two unmissable evenings before the end of August: a UEFA Champions League qualifying second leg against Dinamo Zagreb on 26 August, followed by an Eliteserien clash against Aalesund on 29 August. With Viking one point off the top of the table, every home game matters.
A Packed August at Lyse Arena
After a rousing home win over Sarpsborg 08 on 8 August — the latest in a seven-from-seven home record this season — Lyse Arena is set to host two more high-stakes fixtures before the month is out. Both matches carry enormous weight, and supporters are expected to fill the 15,900-seat ground to capacity on each occasion.
Champions League Football Returns to Stavanger
On Wednesday 26 August, Viking host Dinamo Zagreb in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifying play-off. It is a landmark occasion for the club and the stadium — European nights at Lyse Arena carry a special atmosphere, and with a place in the next round of the continent's premier club competition at stake, demand for tickets is running high. The first leg took place on 18 August.
Eliteserien Back on the Menu
Just three days later, on Saturday 29 August at 18:00 local time, the league resumes as Viking host Aalesund in matchday 19. The two sides met earlier in the campaign, drawing 1–1 away in late July. With Bodø/Glimt holding a one-point lead at the top, Viking need a home victory to maintain the pressure in what is shaping up to be a dramatic title run-in.
Fans planning to attend either fixture are encouraged to check ticket availability via the official Viking FK website, as both events are expected to attract full houses at Lyse Arena.
