Södertälje Fotbollsarena, Football stadium in Geneta, Sweden.
Södertälje Fotbollsarena is a football stadium in the western part of Södertälje, Sweden, with an artificial turf pitch and covered seating. Next to the main field, the site includes additional pitches used by several local clubs for training and youth football.
The stadium opened in 2005 as a project funded by the municipality to give local clubs a modern home ground. It replaced older facilities in the city and soon became the main venue for club football in Södertälje.
The stadium sits in the Geneta neighborhood, where people of Assyrian and Syriac background make up a large part of the local population and follow football very closely. Match days here often feel more like community gatherings than ordinary sports events.
The stadium is in the western part of town and can be reached by car or public transport without much difficulty. Since the grounds are also used for training on non-match days, it is worth checking in advance whether a game is scheduled before visiting.
The stadium is shared by several clubs at the same time, which means that on some weekends more than one team plays a home game on the same pitch in a single day. The artificial turf also allows matches to continue through winter, when natural grass in Sweden is generally unplayable.
