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 refers to S:t Örjans hospital, a medieval institution that stood on this site; in August 1922 the city council adopted it for the ground. The stadium is home to both Halmstads BK and IS Halmia, and in 2004 Gyllene Tider opened and closed their 25th-anniversary national tour here.
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.
The overall attendance record at Örjans Vall belongs not to football but to the pop group Gyllene Tider, who played three 25th-anniversary concerts in July and August 2004; the largest drew 27,168 people, far above the 20,381 who saw IS Halmia play Landskrona BoIS in 1962.
