Gamla Ullevi, Football stadium in central Gothenburg, Sweden
Gamla Ullevi is a football stadium in central Gothenburg with four covered stands accommodating 18,000 spectators. The symmetrical design ensures clear views of the pitch from every seat in the ground.
The original stadium opened in 1916 as Scandinavia's most modern football arena at the time. The current structure was built in 2009, replacing its predecessor on the same location.
Three local clubs, IFK Göteborg, GAIS, and Örgryte IS, use this stadium as their shared home, making city derbies fiercely contested occasions. The venue is woven into the city's football culture and draws supporters from across the region throughout the season.
The ground sits at Ullevigatan 5 and connects easily to multiple tram and bus routes. Parking is available on surrounding streets, though spaces fill quickly on match days.
The venue serves as the national stadium for Sweden's women's football team and hosted the 2021 UEFA Women's Champions League Final. This role connects it to some of Europe's highest-level women's matches.
