History and description<\/h3>\n

Telia Parken is the largest football stadium in Denmark, the home of FC Copenhagen, and the standard playing venue of the Danish national team.<\/p>\n

Parken was built on the site of Denmark\u2019s previous national stadium, Idr\u00e6tspark, which had stood there since 1911. Demolition of the old stadium started in 1990, with the new stadium finished in 1992.<\/p>\n

Only the old main stand remained part of the new stadium, but because the pitch had turned 90 degrees became one of the short ends. Furthermore the 16 bottom rows of seats were removed to be make space for a stage to host concerts. An extensive renovation made it fit in with the new stands.<\/p>\n

The new stadium officially opened on the 1st of September 1992 and was renamed Parken as this was how the old stadium was already referred to by most people anyway.<\/p>\n

In 1994, Parken hosted the Cup Winners\u2019 Cup final between Arsenal and Parma (1-0), and six years later, in 2000, the UEFA Cup final<\/a> between Galatasaray and again Arsenal (0-0).<\/p>\n

Between 2007 en 2009 the remaining old stand was demolished and replaced with a new stand. This reduced capacity of the stadium, but increased the number of corporate and VIP facilities.<\/p>\n

The stadium got renamed Telia Parken in 2014 following a sponsorship deal with communications company Telia.<\/p>\n

Telia Parken has been selected as one of the playing venues of the Euro 2020<\/a> Championships which are played across Europe, hosting three first round group matches and one round of 16 match.<\/p>\n
