Community engagement
Supporting communities where we operate
OMV Norge AS is dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities where we operate. In Stavanger, we proudly support a range of cultural and sporting initiatives that reflect our commitment to local engagement and development.
Viking FK – Strength in Tradition, Power in Unity
Founded in 1899, Viking FK is one of Norway’s most storied football clubs and a proud symbol of Stavanger. With roots inspired by Norway’s Viking heritage, the club embodies strength, resilience, and community spirit. Viking FK has claimed 8 Norwegian league titles and 6 Norwegian Cups.
More than a football club, Viking FK is a cultural cornerstone in Stavanger. The club focuses on youth development and sustainable growth, ensuring a strong future while honoring its rich legacy. The team plays at Lyse Arena, a modern stadium in Jåttåvågen with a capacity of 16,300.
As a neighbour and sponsor, we support a team that represents tradition, ambition, and local pride.
Stavanger Concert Hall – Where Art Meets Excellence
Opened in 2012, Stavanger Concert Hall (Stavanger Konserthus) is a cultural landmark on Norway’s west coast, beautifully situated by the fjord in Bjergsted Culture Park. Its striking architecture and world-class acoustics make it a premier destination for music and performing arts.
From classical concerts and opera to pop, rock, and international stars, Stavanger Concert Hall hosts performances that inspire and connect communities. It also serves as a hub for conferences and cultural engagement, reinforcing Stavanger’s role as a vibrant arts city.
As a sponsor, OMV supports a venue that represents artistic excellence and innovation.
Energistafetten – Creating Positive Energy Together
Energistafetten is one of Stavanger’s most vibrant community events, held annually in late May. The race brings together thousands of participants for a day of unity, joy, and physical activity. In 2025, more than 11,000 participants joined the event, making it one of the region’s largest happenings.
The relay covers 13.5 km, divided into 10 stages of varying lengths (750 m to 2,300 m), allowing teams of colleagues, friends, organizations, and neighborhoods to compete and celebrate together
Sponsors, like OMV, play a vital role in supporting this initiative. Together, we inspire health, happiness, and community involvement!
