History

On 29 March 2011 it was announced that the house builder Myresjohus had purchased the naming rights to the stadium for an undisclosed amount. Myresjohus 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 Fotbollforbundets upcoming demands for stadiums in Allsvenskan. The official groundbreaking took place on 31 March 2011 and was led by Lars-Ake Lagrell, chairman of Svenska Fotbollforbundet. The first competitive football match at the stadium was played on 3 September 2012 between Smaland rivals Osters IF and IFK Varnamo.
