Sweden vs Bosnia and Herzegovina LIVE, Latest Score, Goals and Updates in UEFA Nations League

The Strawberry Arena is Sweden's national stadium, located in Solna, just north of Stockholm's city center, on the shores of Lake Råstasjön and about six kilometers from the capital's central station. Its official name is Nationalarenan, and it has been known as "Strawberry Arena" since July 12, 2024, when an agreement with the Norwegian hotel chain Strawberry, announced in January of that year, came into effect. Previously, it was called Swedbank Arena (2009-2012, during construction) and then Friends Arena (2012-2024). According to one source, it is the largest stadium in Scandinavia.

There is a reason for its existence. The Swedish Football Association decided on April 1, 2006, to build a new stadium in Solna because the old Råsunda, which hosted the 1958 World Cup final, had become outdated. Construction began in December 2009, and the stadium opened at the end of October 2012. There is no consensus on its cost: one source cites approximately 1.9 billion Swedish kronor (around €202 million), while another estimates it at 2.8 billion kronor (around €300 million). The owners are a mix of public and private entities: the Swedish Football Association, the municipality of Solna, the insurance company Folksam, and the companies Jernhusen, Peab, and Fabege.

It boasts several features. It has three tiers of seating, a retractable roof, natural grass, and 92 executive suites, and was one of the first stadiums to have air conditioning. For football matches, it can accommodate around 50,000 people, with an international seating capacity of 50,653 according to one source, and this can be reduced to around 35,000 for smaller events. For concerts, it can hold up to 65,000. Their record attendance is 60,243 people, at the Taylor Swift concert on May 19, 2024, and in football, 50,151 at a Sweden-Switzerland match on October 10, 2025.
