HamKam Visit Kicks Off Jotun Arena's Second-Half Season
Jotun Arena came alive again on 12 July as Sandefjord Fotball hosted HamKam in the first home Eliteserien fixture since the summer break. The eagerly awaited return marks the start of a packed home schedule that runs all the way through to December.
Sandefjord Secure First Points After the Break
Sandefjord Fotball returned to competitive action at Jotun Arena on Sunday, 12 July, welcoming HamKam for Eliteserien round 13. The match kicked off at 17:00 and marked the end of the club's summer fixture drought, with no home league game having been played since the end of June.
The club had built anticipation around the fixture all week, describing it as the moment Eliteserien football finally returned to Jotun Arena. Both clubs came into the match in the mid-table section of the standings, with the points on offer carrying significant weight in what is shaping up to be a competitive second half of the season.
Bodø/Glimt Next on the Horizon
With the HamKam match behind them, attention at Jotun Arena quickly turns to the next home fixture. Bodø/Glimt visit on 26 July, and the club has wasted no time in drumming up excitement among the fanbase — ticket sales for that match surged almost immediately, reflecting the appetite among supporters to see their side tested against one of Norway's top clubs.
Sandefjord's home schedule for the rest of the season also includes visits from KFUM Oslo, Brann, Viking, Start, Lillestrøm, Molde, Tromsø and Vålerenga, promising plenty of big nights at Jotun Arena before the campaign concludes in December.
