The semi-final of the 2012 Norwegian Football Cup was played at Høddvoll, drawing 6,261 spectators, where Hødd won 3–1. After Hødd won the 2012 Cup Final, the team qualified for second qualification round of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. A major issue was if the club would be allowed to play their games at Høddvoll, or would have to use the more modern stadia Color Line Stadion in Ålesund or Aker Stadion in Molde. UEFA gave Høddvoll a green light in June. On 18 July 2013, Hødd won 1–0 (lost 1–2 on aggregate) against Kazakhstani side Aktobe, the only European football match played at Høddvoll. The match sold out, drawing 2,019 spectators.
