Eidsvoll Stadion

Eidsvoll Stadion sits in Råholt, a village in Akershus, and has been the home of Eidsvold IF since it opened its doors in 1926. The pitch is artificial turf, which the locals call kunstgress. Though the conversion date is not recorded, the shift reflects the practical needs of a club that competes in the lower tiers of Norwegian football.

Capacity figures vary slightly; one source puts it at one thousand, another at one thousand five hundred. The all-time attendance record, if it exists, remains uncertain, though the Norwegian Football Cup (NM Cup) match against Lillestrøm in 2022 drew a notable thirteen hundred spectators. The stadium has seen other visitors, including Vålerenga and Aasane, but these are cup fixtures, not league battles, and the visitors do not stay long. Eidsvold IF plays here, distinct from Eidsvold Turn, which has its own ground nearby, and the two clubs never confuse one another.

The village itself is defined by the river that cuts through it, and the stadium sits just beyond the water, close enough to hear the current but far enough to ignore it. There are no grand stands or architectural features to speak of, just a functional space that has served the town for a century. The club still builds its projects on a dugnad basis, meaning volunteer work, and the same spirit applies to the ground. It is not a place that changes much, and that is how it should be.
