<\/p>\n
Club: Ostersunds FK | Opening: 2007 | Capacity: 8,466 (3,368 standing)<\/p>\n
The Jamtkraft Arena was built in 2007 to provide Ostersunds FK with a new home. It was part of a larger development that also included a new ice hockey and entertainment arena.<\/p>\n
The Jamtkraft Arena\u00a0officially opened on 13 July 2017 with a friendly between OFK and Swansea City.<\/p>\n
The stadium initially consisted of three stands, leaving one end open, but in 2016 an extra terrace got built when OFK promoted to Sweden’s top division, which added 2,000 places to capacity.<\/p>\n
The Jamtkraft Arena is located on the northern edge of the town of Ostersund at just over 2 kilometres from Ostersund’s town centre. Ostersund’s main railway station lies a kilometre further away just south of the town centre.<\/p>\n
The walk from city hall in Ostersund’s centre takes about 30 minutes. On matchdays, a special service of line 14 runs to the stadium. Buses depart from the bus station in Ostersund’s centre at 60 minutes and 40 minutes before the start of the game.<\/p>\n
On non-matchdays, bus<\/a> 6, 8, or 14 can get you to the stadium, but service is limited, in particular in the evenings and on the weekends.<\/p>\n Ostersund lies about 550 kilometres north of Stockholm. There are one or two direct trains<\/a> a day that connect Ostersund with Stockholm, but there are more options with a change in Sundsvall. The journey from Stockholm takes 5 to 6 hours, that from Sundsvall about 2.5 hours.<\/p>\n
