Fans gather early at the Stadion to create the perfect atmosphere, with songs starting long before the referee blows the whistle.

Pre-match Rituals

The rituals often begin several hours before kick-off. The supporters from "Molde Support" meet at various pubs around town, where they sing songs and share stories of the club's greatness. It’s a time for sharing expectations and nerves before the match. Some fans bring flags and scarves, while others even wear specially made T-shirts for the occasion. These small details help build anticipation and camaraderie among the supporters.

Regardless of the match outcome, the festivities continue after the final whistle. If MFK wins, there is a celebration at the pubs where the victory is discussed and cherished.
