Guldfågeln Arena is also one of the arenas used for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013, as Kalmar Arena, with three matches in the preliminaries as well as one quarter final.

History

The football stadium consists of 11,000 seats under roof, and has a natural grass playing field grown in place.[5] Beside the football pitch in the stadium, the construction work also includes three pitches that will be used for practise sessions only (two with natural grass and one with artificial turf).

Guldfågeln Arena cost about 250 million Swedish kronor and was financed jointly by Kalmar FF, Kalmar Municipality and the real estate company Sveafastigheter. Guldfågeln Arena replaced Fredriksskans as Kalmar FF's home ground.
