Varden Amfi is a football venue in Bergen, Norway. The stadium is currently used by FK Fyllingsdalen who plays in the Norwegian Second Division. It was formerly used by now dissolved clubs Løv-Ham and Fyllingen Fotball.[1]

It was originally opened in 1992,[1] but upgraded to the Norwegian First Division standard in 2008. Before the upgrade Løv-Ham played at Krohnsminde which did not meet the Football Association's requirements.[2] The upgrade, which was estimated to NOK 20–25 million, was fully financed by the local businessman Trond Mohn.[2]

The venue has an artificial turf.[2]
