Hønefoss vs KFUM Oslo - NM Cupen

Season-defining implications hang over this NM Cupen clash at the home ground, where Hønefoss host KFUM Oslo on September 30, 2026 knowing the result could shape the run-in for both clubs. It has not been a daunting fixture list but there are signs that Mourinho has found a way to get the best from an increasingly stacked Madrid squad.

There is little to choose between Hønefoss and KFUM Oslo on paper, and the NM Cupen encounter should reflect that balance. The hosts will hope that the the home ground crowd can inspire a performance, whatever the numbers suggest. KFUM Oslo will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. Paulo Fonseca's men are still smarting from their Champions League play-off exit but now sit third in the table.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: "If I’m Manchester United right now, I say press the green button and buy him, take him, right now.
