Borås Arena, Football stadium in Borås, Sweden.
Borås Arena is a football stadium in Sweden with four grandstands and capacity for roughly 17,800 spectators. The pitch features artificial turf and allows matches to be played throughout the year.
The stadium was built in 2003 and replaced the older venue Ryavallen, which had been used since 1941. Construction marked the start of a new era for football in the region.
The stadium serves as home to two football teams and represents a shift in Swedish football toward club ownership of facilities. It reflects how local sports culture evolved in the region during the early 2000s.
The stadium sits about 2 kilometers from the city center and is easy to reach by car or public transport. Visitors should arrive early to get a good spot and to explore the surroundings at a relaxed pace.
The stadium is wholly owned by the teams that play here, which was unusual for Sweden at that time. This independence gave the clubs special flexibility in making decisions and investments.
