2020 Aalesunds FK agreement
Ahead of the 2020 season, Fortuna Ålesund agreed to a three-year cooperation agreement with Aalesunds FK (AaFK).[2] One of the goals are to develop women's football in Ålesund and eventually merge Fortuna with AaFK. As part of the agreement, the team changed its name to AaFK Fortuna and will play with Aalesunds FK's orange and blue kit and use AaFK's logo.[3]
