Aalesunds Fotballklubb ("Aalesunds Football Club") is a Norwegian football club from the city of Ålesund, which in Adeccoligaen 2006 ended second and thereby was promoted to the Norwegian Premier League. As of 2004, it had 835 members and several teams on both professional and amateur levels. These teams are the 1st and 2nd teams, junior team, and also several age-specific teams.
The team was founded on 1914-06-25.
Aalesunds F.K. played their home matches at Kråmyra Stadium in the 2004 season, but relocated in 2005 to the brand new Color Line Stadium with an approximate capacity of 11,000 people. Boosted by this, recent relative success and general sharply increasing attendances in Norway, Aalesund have in only few years gone from attracting crowds of approximately 1,000 to regularly selling out their stadium [1]. Their average attendance of 9,943 in Adeccoligaen 2006 is a new record for attendances at the second level of the Norwegian league system.
The local supporter club for Aafk is called "Stormen", or "The Storm", which numbers about 2000 members.
Rival football clubs in the city include SK Herd, SPKL Rollon, FC Skarbøvik and FC Spjelkavik, with Molde F.K. being the main regional rival.
