Late Viking Leveller Denies Sandefjord at Jotun Arena
Sandefjord Fotball were pegged back by a stoppage-time equaliser as Viking FK earned a 1-1 draw at Jotun Arena on 4 September. The result capped a dramatic evening at the stadium, which also hosted a coaching development event and saw SF2 win 2-1 the following day.
A Point Apiece in a Dramatic Finish
Sandefjord Fotball and Viking FK played out a 1-1 draw at Jotun Arena on 4 September, in what proved to be a tense and dramatic Eliteserien encounter. The match was goalless at half-time before the hosts broke the deadlock early in the second half, with Børkeeiet putting Sandefjord ahead.
Viking, last year's league champions, refused to be beaten and levelled matters with an equaliser deep into stoppage time — a gut-punch for the home side who had been so close to claiming all three points.
A Busy Night at the Stadium
The match was just one part of a packed evening at Jotun Arena on 4 September. A coaching and leadership development gathering — known locally as Trener og ledersamling — ran alongside the matchday programme, drawing participants from across the Vestfold region focused on player and coach development.
The following day, Sandefjord's reserve side, SF2, kept the good times rolling with a hard-fought 2-1 home win over Oppsal at the same venue, giving the stadium back-to-back days of competitive football.
Supporters and the SF Ekstra Programme
On 6 September, the September edition of the club's popular SF Ekstra membership programme got underway at Jotun Arena. Designed to keep supporters actively engaged throughout the month, the initiative offers access and experiences that go well beyond a standard matchday ticket.
With a few places still available at the time of launch, Sandefjord Fotball encouraged fans to move quickly to secure their spot — a reflection of the programme's growing popularity among the club's supporter base.
