Nationalarenan, known as Strawberry Arena since 2024 for sponsorship reasons, is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium in Stockholm, Sweden.
Located next to the lake Råstasjön in Solna, just north of the City Centre, it is the largest stadium in Scandinavia.
Since its opening, the venue has served as Sweden's national stadium for men's football, hence the name Nationalarenan.
The venue has a total capacity of 65,000 at concerts and 50,000 seated at football matches, but the stadium can be scaled down to provide for smaller events with approximately 20,000 guests.
On January 13, 2024, a naming rights sponsorship agreement was reached with the Norwegian hotel company Strawberry.
[10] The stadium has a retractable roof, enabling events to take place during the winter season and to host indoor entertainment shows.
For example, the stadium is lit up in blue and yellow when Sweden's national team is playing matches.
In the middle of the stadium roof, a 240 square metres big media cube is placed where the attendance can follow what is happening.
[2] Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden declared the arena inaugurated at the opening ceremony, which took place in the venue on 27 October 2012.
There are two boards informing that the eighteenth meridian has passed through this point, at the entrance B and F.[16] The arena, located about six km (3,7 miles) from Stockholm Central Station, has parking for 300 charter buses and 4,000 cars.
Along with the stadium, there will also be built a number of hotels with a total of approximately 400 rooms, restaurants for 8,000 guests, office areas for 10,000 employees, conference/exhibition centres and 2,000 flats.
