History and description

The Jamtkraft Arena was built in 2007 to provide Ostersunds FK with a new home. The arena was part of a larger development that also included a new ice hockey and entertainment arena. On 13 July 2017, the Jamtkraft Arena officially opened with a friendly between OFK and Swansea City.

The stadium at first consisted of three stands, leaving one end open, but in 2016 an extra terrace got built when OFK promoted to Sweden's top division, which added 2,000 places to the stadium's capacity.

How to get to the Jamtkraft Arena

The Jamtkraft Arena is located in Ostersund town centre, just over 2 km from the town's main railway station. The walk from city hall in Ostersund to the stadium takes about 30 minutes. On matchdays, a special service of line 14 runs to the stadium. Buses depart from the bus station in Ostersund's center at 60 minutes and 40 minutes before the start of the game.

Bus 6, 8, or 14 can get you to the stadium on non-matchdays, but service is limited and particularly in the evenings and on the weekends.

Ostersund is located about 550 kilometers north of Stockholm. There are one or two direct trains a day connecting Ostersund with Stockholm, but there are more options with a change in Sundsvall. The journey from Stockholm takes 5 to 6 hours, while the journey from Sundsvall takes about 2.5 hours.

The airport lies about 10 kilometers west of the town center. It has a few direct flights per day to Stockholm.

Address: Arenavägen 23, 831 32 Östersund

Eat, drink, and sleep near the Jamtkraft Arena

The Jamtkraft Arena is located on a busy office park on the edge of the city. Ostersund?s ice hockey arena and ski stadium are on the same park. The nearby Arctura tower has a skybar and restaurant with some nice views, but it's not an appealing area with little around in terms of eating and drinking, which is better done in the town centre of Ostersund.

You won't find any hotels close to the Jamtkraft Arena, but there are a few decent options in the town center. Click here for an overview of hotels in Ostersund.
