The Visma Arena or Växjö Arena is a football stadium in Växjö, Sweden and the home of Superettan club Östers IF. The stadium is a part of a large redevelopment of the area formerly known as Värendsvallen into Arenastaden,[1] which also includes a new ice hockey arena, floorball arena and a dedicated indoor athletics arena. Between 2012 and 2020, it was known as Myresjöhus Arena.
On 29 March 2011 it was announced that the house builder Myresjöhus had purchased the naming rights to the stadium for an undisclosed amount.[2] Myresjöhus Arena is a dedicated football stadium with a capacity of 12,000 (10,000 seated), with the entire audience under roof. The stadium conforms to UEFA category 3 for international games as well as Svenska Fotbollförbundets upcoming demands for stadiums in Allsvenskan.[3] The official groundbreaking took place on 31 March 2011 and was led by Lars-Åke Lagrell, chairman of Svenska Fotbollförbundet.[4] The first competitive football match at the stadium was played on 3 September 2012 between Småland rivals Östers IF and IFK Värnamo in Superettan, ending in a 1–1 draw.[5]
