Örjans Vall, Football stadium in Halmstad, Sweden
Örjans Vall is a football stadium in Halmstad with four distinct stand sections arranged around the playing field. The northern stand holds approximately 2000 away supporters and sits near the Nissan River, which runs alongside the grounds.
The stadium opened on July 30, 1922, when Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf inaugurated it under the original name Halmstads Idrottsplats. The name was later changed to honor the medieval hospital that previously occupied the same location.
The name comes from a medieval hospital dedicated to Saint Örjan that once stood in this area by the western riverbank. This historical connection adds meaning to the place for local supporters who visit.
Visitors can buy tickets through the online portal, at the club office on weekdays, or directly at the stadium entrance. The northern section near the river provides good views of the entire playing field.
During the winter of 1956, extreme cold transformed the running tracks surrounding the football field into a skating rink. This unusual event shows how much the seasons shape life in this region.
