Østerbro Stadium, Sports stadium in Østerbro district, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Østerbro Stadium is a sports complex in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, consisting of a football pitch, a running track, and several spectator stands. The central building on the grounds is called Idrætshuset and holds around 4,400 people.
The stadium was built in the early 1900s and is now listed on the Kulturstyrelsen register as a protected monument. It was recognized for its architectural value and its role in the sporting history of the city.
The building at the heart of the grounds, Idrætshuset, serves as a meeting point for several local sports clubs that have been active in Østerbro for generations. On any given day, training groups of all ages pass through, giving the place a steady rhythm of everyday sports life.
The grounds are easy to reach by public transport and sit in one of Copenhagen's main sports areas. Since the complex is regularly used for training and competitions, it is worth checking in advance whether access is open on the day you plan to visit.
In 2009, the stadium hosted the World Outgames, an international sports event open to LGBTQ athletes from around the world. It was one of the few times Copenhagen hosted a sports gathering of that scale with that particular focus.
