The Falcon alcohol fri arena is a football stadium in the Swedish city ​​of Falkenberg , in the southwest of the country. The facility offers 5565 seats. It was opened in 2017 and is the home ground of the two football clubs Falkenbergs FF and IF Böljan .

history

In 2013, the impetus for the construction of a new football arena was given, as the previous home stadium of the Falkenberg FF, the Falkenberg IP , no longer threatened to comply with the more stringent regulations for the games organized by the Svensk Elitfotboll league association . With the involvement of various affected city associations, various variants were discussed and the experiences of other cities analyzed.In November, party representatives of the Folkpartiet liberalerna carried out an investigation into the construction of a joint football stadium for Falkenbergs FF and local rivals Halmstads BK , as the Halmstader stadium was also in need of renovation Game. After the new building had been decided in the meantime, six construction companies were entrusted by the municipality with the construction of the building and the infrastructure in spring 2015.

In June 2015, the name of the arena to be built by the beginning of 2017 was announced. After the local Swedish subsidiary of the Danish brewery Carlsberg became a name sponsor , the sports facility was given the name of the non-alcoholic beer type Falcon alcohol . The stadium was completed in good time so that Falkenbergs FF, who had recently been relegated from the first-class Allsvenskan , could start playing in the new stadium at the beginning of the second division season in 2017 . A few days later, during an inventory of the construction costs on the part of the municipality, it was stated that at 110 million SEK these were around 20 million crowns below the costs originally set in the planning, but the report noted the sometimes significantly higher overhead costs for the infrastructure and the redesign of green spaces are not taken into account. Parallel to the men's team from Falkenbergs FF, the women's team from IF Böljan moved into the stadium as their home ground after being promoted to the second-class Elitettan .
