Arosvallen, Football stadium in Västerås, Sweden.
Arosvallen is a football stadium in Västerås with a natural grass pitch and an athletic track running around it. The venue holds roughly 10,000 spectators and features modern floodlighting for evening matches.
Arosvallen was inaugurated on 21 June 1931 in the Kristiansborg district of Västerås. It hosted two matches of the 1958 FIFA World Cup, Yugoslavia–Scotland and Yugoslavia–France, and in 1995 it staged four group matches, a quarterfinal and a semifinal of the FIFA Women's World Cup.
The name Aros refers to Västerås's old name, not to any wetland. The ground sits in the Kristiansborg district and was long the home of Västerås SK's footballers, who moved their home matches to Hitachi Energy Arena at Rocklunda IP from 2008. Since 2010 the Västerås Roedeers American football team has used the pitch.
Arosvallen is in the Kristiansborg district of Västerås, with a capacity of 10,000. Since 2008 Västerås SK have played their home football matches at Hitachi Energy Arena in Rocklunda IP, so check which events are scheduled at Arosvallen before visiting.
The venue is not just known for football but also hosted bandy matches that drew large crowds in earlier decades. This connection to other sports shows how the grounds served multiple athletic purposes over time.
