Eleda Stadion, Football stadium in Malmö, Sweden.
Eleda Stadion is a football stadium in Malmö with four main stands and a capacity of around 22,500 spectators. A dedicated standing terrace can be converted into seating for international matches.
Malmö FF began planning a new ground in the mid-1990s as Malmö Stadion deteriorated; after a failed renovation of Malmö IP, the municipality chose a site south of Malmö Stadion in December 2005. Construction started on 23 April 2007 with FOJAB Arkitekter and Berg Arkitektkontor designing and Peab building; the cost rose from 399 to 695 million kronor. The inauguration match on 13 April 2009 against Örgryte IS ended 3–0, Labinot Harbuzi scoring the first goal.
The Falcon Stand holds Malmö FF's ultras and most season-ticket holders, with bars and 100 wheelchair spaces. Between 2009 and 2013 stands carried sponsor names, dropped in 2014 when advertising in front of each stand took a light blue background with white text in the club's colours. On 11 April 2011 the ground became a concert hall for the Swedish ska band Hoffmaestro & Chraa.
The stadium is easy to reach by public transportation, with several bus routes running directly from central Malmö. Travel from the city center typically takes around 15 minutes.
The stadium won the 2009 Swedish Steel Construction Prize, awarded by the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction. On 11 April 2011 it was converted into a concert hall for the Swedish ska band Hoffmaestro & Chraa. The Falcon stand holds the club's ultras and most season-ticket holders.
