Aalesunds FK (formerly known as FK Fortuna ÃÂ lesund and AaFK Fortuna) is a Norwegian women's football club from ÃÂ lesund that currently competes in Toppserien, the first tier of Norwegian football.
The club was founded on 25 August 1991 by outbreakers from SK Guard, and merged with Spjelkavik IL in 1995. They played as Spjelkavik IL/Fortuna in the 1995 season, and was named FK Fortuna ÃÂ lesund in 1996. The club's home grounds are Aksla Stadion and (sometimes) Color Line Stadion.

Among several coaches, Tone Haugen was playing coach and captain 2000âÂÂ03 and the ex-Icelandic national team coach Helena ÃÂlafsdóttir was coach for Fortuna 2015âÂÂ16.
Ahead of the 2020 season, Fortuna ÃÂ lesund agreed to a three-year cooperation agreement with Aalesunds FK (AaFK). One of the goals are to develop women's football in ÃÂ lesund 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. Ahead of the 2026 season AaFK Fortuna was fully merged into Aalesunds FK, becoming the club's women's team.
