<\/p>\n
Club: FC Flora Tallinn | Opening: 2001 | Capacity: 10,340 seats<\/p>\n
The A. Le Coq Arena, previously\u00a0called Lillekula Stadium, is the largest football stadium of Estonia and the home of the national team.<\/p>\n
The stadium was built in 2001, and replaced Kadriorg Stadium as Estonia’s principal football venue.\u00a0Lillekula Stadium officially opened on 2 June 2001 with the\u00a0Estonia vs Netherlands World Cup qualifier (2-4).<\/p>\n
One year later, the stadium got renamed A. Le Coq Arena following a naming rights sponsorship deal with a local beer brewer.<\/p>\n
The A. Le Coq Arena has been selected to host the 2018 European Super Cup. The stadium will be expanded to a capacity of 15,000 for the occasion.<\/p>\n
The A. Le Coq Arena is located in the south-west of Tallinn at roughly 2 kilometres from the southern edge of Tallinn’s old town. The walk from Tallinn’s old town takes a little under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
The stadium lies a short walk away from train\u00a0station Lillekula. There is very frequent service<\/a> from Tallinn’s main railway station to Lillekula, which is one the routes towards Passkula in the south-west of Tallinn and beyond. The journey takes only 3 minutes.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can also catch a train to Kitsekula station, which is at similar distance from the A. Le Coq Arena as Lillekula station. It is one the routes going towards the town of Aegviidu in the east of Estonia. The journey takes 5 minutes. Service is slightly less frequent than towards Lillekula though.<\/p>\n
