\"Rasunda<\/p>\n

Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: AIK | Opening: 1937 | Closing: 2013 | Final capacity: 37,000 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

R\u00e5sunda Fotbollstadion got built in 1937 after the old ground that had stood at the same site since 1910 had become too small.<\/p>\n

Rasunda opened on 18 April 1937 with a match between AIK and Malm\u00f6 FF. AIK had previously played at the Stockholms Stadion, but then moved to the new national stadium.<\/p>\n

Capacity was increased for the 1958 World Cup by expanding the stands at both ends. The stadium could hold just over 50,000 spectators at that time.<\/p>\n

During the World Cup, Rasunda hosted five group matches, a quarter-final, the semi-final between Brazil and France (5-2), and the final between Brazil and Sweden (5-2).<\/p>\n

Few changes were made in the following decades until in the mid 1980s the old main stand got demolished and replaced by a new one.<\/p>\n
