Behrn Arena (Eyravallen) - Orebro SK Stadium Guide

Behrn Arena first opened back in 1923 when it was known as Eyravallen, a name which is still commonly used to this day. The stadium has undergone numerous renovations since opening, with the most significant coming since the turn of the millennium when three out of four stands were completely rebuilt.

The first to be upgraded was the North Stand in 2003, followed by the West Stand in 2007, and the East Stand in 2009. The only remaining stand from the previous era was the southern part of the ground which first opened in 1974, and was capable of seating 3,000 fans.

Eyravallen’s capacity peaked in the 1960s in the era of terraces, and the record attendance is currently 20,066 which was set on 8th June 1961 during a game between Örebro SK and Degerfors IF. As the stadium currently seats 14,500 the record is unlikely to ever be beaten in the foreseeable future.

The most recent change to occur at Behrn Arena occurred in 2003 when the natural playing surface was replaced with a type of astroturf. A controversial issue throughout Scandinavia, for Örebro SK at least it was seen as a “no-brainer” due to the city’s coastal location and resultantly harsher climate.

To date the highest level of football played the stadium has undoubtedly been the match between France and Scotland during the 1958 World Cup. As for the modern era of the Behrn Arena, the the highest level would be the qualification match for the Europa League. Örebro SK were drawn against Bosnian Side FK Sarajevo but were edged out by 2-goals on aggregate.

It seems unlikely that the facilities at Behrn Arena would be deemed worthy of a tour but stranger things have happened.

Car Parks

There are quite a few little areas of tarmac and gravel scattered outside the ground which are used as parking spaces. Make sure you get to the stadium early to secure your spot.

Örebro is blessed with two railway stations: Centralstation in the city centre, and Södra to the south. Both are located in excess of 1.5 km from Eyravallen so there aren’t really any locational advantages to either.

Public Transport of Behrn Arena (Eyravallen)

Örebro Airport which has a few direct services to the likes of Malmo and Copenhagen is situated 10 km southwest of the city centre.

The city centre is packed full of accommodation options such as Scandic Grand Hotel, Best Western City Hotel and the Clarion Hotel. Two of the more affordable options are undoubtedly Hotell Gota, and Hotel Storgården which are both north of the river.
