Markbygg Arena, Football stadium in Ljungskile, Sweden
Markbygg Arena is a football stadium in Ljungskile with a main grass field, an artificial turf field, and multiple smaller fields across its grounds. The facility includes modern amenities such as changing rooms, a player tunnel, offices, a restaurant, a press room, and dedicated areas for referees.
Skarsjövallen was inaugurated in 1984. When Ljungskile SK reached Allsvenskan in 1996, the ground was brought up to standard using parts from the newly renovated Olympia in Helsingborg. Between 2006 and 2017 the stadium changed names eight times for sponsorship reasons, becoming H.A. Bygg Arena, Starke Arvid Arena, Markbygg Arena and Uddevalla Arena before reverting to Skarsjövallen in 2017.
The stadium serves as a gathering place for Ljungskile SK supporters who regularly meet there and participate in community events related to the club. Fans feel a strong connection to the venue and use it as a hub for their activities throughout the season.
The ground has four grass pitches, one artificial turf pitch and one gravel pitch. Since 2013 many standing places have been converted to seats and the whole former standing stand is now covered, reducing capacity to just over 5,700. Check which pitch your event uses before arriving.
The stadium's record attendance of 7,128 was set in 2008 during an Allsvenskan match against IFK Göteborg. The ground has also been renamed eight times between 2006 and 2017 for sponsorship reasons, including Starke Arvid Arena and Uddevalla Arena.
