The rivalry between Molde and Rosenborg is a notable one in Norwegian football as both clubs are recognised for having great history and traditions.
The rivalry had increased importance in the 1990s, as Rosenborg enjoyed the most successful period in the history of the club and Molde developed their team to become Rosenborgs biggest challenger for many seasons. From 1992 to 2004, Rosenborg became champions of Eliteserien thirteen times in succession. In the same period of time Molde won the Norwegian Cup in 1994 and finished second in the league four times (1995, 1998, 1999, 2002).
The status of the rivalry increased during the 90s due to numerous fights for the title. On 8 September 1990, Rosenborg won 7–1 away which, as of 2022, still is the biggest winning margin. The teams met in the semi-final of the 1994 Norwegian Cup. Molde won 2–1 at home and drew 2–2 in Trondheim, and with a 4–3 win on aggregate, Molde qualified for their third cup final. After having lost on aggregate, Rosenborg head coach Nils Arne Eggen called Molde's playing style for "arse-football" ("rævvafotball"). The term has later become a common way to describe football perceived as defensive or boring to watch.[1]
In 2022, Molde won the league with four games to spare. Before the following game against Rosenborg, Rosenborg stated in a press release that they would refuse to stand guard of honour for the champions as they claimed Molde would use it to humiliate them.[2]
