The Haugesund Stadium is a football stadium in the city and municipality of Haugesund in the Fylke Rogaland on the southwest coast of Norway . The two football clubs FK Haugesund and SK Vard Haugesund are the main users of the stadium. After renovations between 2012 and 2014, the Haugesund Stadium offers 8,754 seats.

history

The stadium, which opened in 1920, had been in very poor condition for some time. There were plans for a new building with a total cost of NOK 250 million . In summer 2009, the municipality and FK Haugesund decided to drop the project because of the high costs. Instead, a new athletics facility was built in the north of the city for NOK 50 million. The Haugesund Stadium was then completely renovated from 2012 to 2014 and converted into a pure football stadium without an athletics facility. First of all, the main stand in the east was roofed over. A floodlight system was also installed, which enables television broadcasts.
