Molde Fotballklubb is a Norwegian association football club based in Molde, Norway. The club was formed in 1911 as International. The club was renamed Molde FK in 1915. Molde had several grounds as their home ground until they in 1955 began to permanently use Molde Stadion as their home ground. In 1998, they moved to their current home ground, Aker Stadion.
Since Molde's first competitive match, a number of players have made a competitive first-team appearance for the club.
