Frölundaborg ice stadium, Indoor ice rink in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Frölundaborg is an indoor arena in the Frölunda district of Gothenburg, used mainly for ice hockey and figure skating and as a training hall for Frölunda HC. It seats 6,044 spectators, with 3,614 standing places and 2,430 seats. The building is part of the Slottsskogsvallen sports centre and also hosts fairs, concerts and other large events.
Frölundaborg was built for 6.3 million SEK and inaugurated on 12 September 1967 with a friendly match in which Västra Frölunda IF beat the Swedish national ice hockey team 4-3. The arena changed owners in February 2006 and was renovated for 100 million SEK in 2007. In 2024 it hosted Pool B games of the IIHF World Junior Championship together with Scandinavium.
The arena takes its name from the Frölundaborg villa district beside it and forms part of the Slottsskogsvallen sports centre. Frölunda HC uses it as a home venue when Scandinavium is booked, including Champions Hockey League games, and it also hosts ice skating, trade fairs and concerts.
The building is located within the Gothenburg city area and is easy to reach by public transport. Since training sessions and events affect access, it is worth checking the current schedule before visiting.
In the 1980s, the arena hosted international music concerts, which was unusual for an ice sport facility. This side of its history shows how the building served a much broader role in the city's life beyond sport.
