Come together!

More than just a stadium, the new arena for the up-and-coming football team Bodø/Glimt will be a place where people come together. The Arctic Arena will not only be one of Europe's northernmost football stadiums and a tribute to football and northern Norwegian strength, but it will also unite the region and contribute to the development of Bodø as a destination.

Strong and connected

The stadium will have a capacity of 10,000 spectators and features a design inspired by the Arctic climate and Nordic architecture. Its faceted design symbolises strength and connection, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with timber and recyclable aluminium.

Unity and shared values

Arctic Arena is more than just a football stadium; it promotes sporting equality with facilities for men’s, women’s, and academy teams, and will host various events beyond football.

The vision for Arctic Arena is to be a landmark of unity and shared values, fostering social sustainability and becoming a unique gathering point for the community.
