The Ottmar Hitzfeld Arena is a sports stadium in the village Gspon in Canton Valais, Switzerland.
[1] The stadium is located in the hamlet Gspon, which is 800 meters above the Staldenried municipality in Canton Valais.
[3] Gspon has no cars nor traffic,[4] and was chosen as the site location because lower lands are used for agriculture.
[4] In 2009 a field of artificial turf was paid for by the former football trainer of the Swiss National Team Ottmar Hitzfeld, hence its name.
[2] According to the club legend, the pitch's location close to a cliff made it lose around a thousand footballs.
