Encyclopedia
The 2009 Superfinalen was the first edition of Superfinalen
, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Tippeligaen
and Norwegian Cup
competitions. It was played on 8 March 2009, at Telenor Arena
in Bærum
, between Stabæk and Vålerenga, winners of the 2008 Norwegian Premier League and 2008 Norwegian Football Cup respectively. A collaboration between the Football Association of Norway

The game was a repeat of the 2008 Norwegian Football Cup Final

, Daigo Kobayashi
and Pálmi Rafn Pálmason
. Mohammed Abdellaoue scored for the losing side.
The game also served as the official opening match of Telenor Arena
