3Arena, formerly known asStockholmsarenan andTele2 Arena,[4] is aretractable roofmulti-purpose arena[5] inStockholm Globe City,Johanneshov, just south ofStockholm City Centre, Sweden. It is used mostly for concerts andfootball matches, hosting home matches ofAllsvenskan teamsDjurgårdens IF andHammarby IF. The arena has a capacity of 30,000 to 35,000 spectators for football matches, depending on the number of people standing,[6][7] and its facilities fulfill the requirements ofFIFA andUEFA for hosting international games and tournaments. When configured for concerts, the arena has a capacity of 45,000 spectators.[8][non-primary source needed]
With a maximum capacity of up to 40,000 and a retractable roof, the arena is able to host concerts, equestrian, motorsport, ice sports, banquettes, exhibitions, company events and shareholder meetings, in addition to football.[citation needed]
The cost was calculated to be 2.7 billionSEK including land appropriation and a new parking garage under the arena. The cost was balanced against income from sales of building rights and rental from the operator who runs the arena. Financing was mostly covered by sale of land, mainly the lot whereSöderstadion was situated and associated building rights for commercial premises. The owner is the City of Stockholm via subsidiary SGA Fastigheter AB.[citation needed]
The arena was planned to host the opening game of theice hockey World Championship 2013, but the construction was delayed and the arena was not finished until July 2013, two months after the tournament.[9] Initially, it was intended that the stadium would stage the finals of theSwedish Super League, but after the delay, it was decided that the finals in 2013 and 2014 would be moved toMalmö Arena.[10] It is decided that Stockholmsarenan will be the national stadium of Swedishspeedway andAmerican football.[11]
It is also possible to have artificially-frozen ice on the ground. Thebandy team ofHammarby IF has practiced on the ice when this possibility was tried for the first time, but the team will so far still useZinkensdamms IP as their home ground for bandy. "Bandyns dag" ("Bandy Day") was supposed to be arranged at the arena on 14 December 2013 with a match against IFK Vänersborg as the climax but had to be cancelled due to problems with preparing the ice.[12] Instead, the match against Sandvikens AIK on 10 January 2014 was played at Stockholmsarenan.[13][14]
On 27 June 2013, just days before Hammarby's first football match at their new arena, an explosive device was found outside the stadium. Former players from rivals Djurgården were to play a friendly that evening in front of approximately 3,000 spectators, but the game was cancelled due to the threat. The culture commissioner for theCity of Stockholm has stated that the city council "has authority over who gets to play there, and that power will be used" if the situation does not get under control.[15][16]
The first official event at the stadium was a football match between Hammarby andÖrgryte IS on 20 July 2013. The match, which ended in a 0–0 draw, brought in 29,175 spectators, setting a new record for highest attendance at a Superettan match.[17] The following day, a crowd of 27,798 attendedDjurgårdens IF's inaugural match at Stockholmsarenan, a 1–2 defeat byIFK Norrköping.[18]
On 1 January 2025, the arena was renamed the 3Arena, as a result of telecommunations company3 taking over as title sponsor fromTele2.[4]
