Romssa Arena, Football stadium in Tromsø, Norway
Romssa Arena is a football stadium in Tromsø, Norway, featuring artificial turf with undersoil heating and a playing surface of 105 by 68 meters for professional matches. The venue holds a total capacity of 6,859 spectators and includes VIP seating sections in the east and west stands.
The Alfheim area was purchased by the municipality in 1954 and converted into a sports venue in 1960. Following major renovations, the stadium officially opened in 1987 for football events.
The name Romssa Arena was adopted in 2023 to honor Sámi heritage and strengthen the link between sports and northern Norwegian identity. This choice reflects how the community values its indigenous roots and local history.
The stadium is located in Tromsø and is accessible by public transport, with parking available on site. Visitors should be prepared for Arctic weather conditions, especially during winter matches, and bring warm clothing.
The stadium sits at 69 degrees north latitude and is the second northernmost venue used for European football competitions. Only Finnmarkshallen in Alta lies further north and is also used for European matches.
