History and Information
The Tele2 Arena was built to provide Stockholm with a new medium-size concert facility and Hammarby IF with a modern replacement for the aged Söderstadion.
Construction of the Tele2 Arena started in late 2010 and was completed in July 2013, with several delays pushing back the initial completion date of December 2012.

The Tele2 Arena was designed to be usable all year round, thanks to its sliding roof.
Hammarby and Djurgårdens IF fans clashed about who was to play first at the stadium, which even led to bomb threats when a Djurgårdens veteran team played a test match at the stadium which Hammarby fans considered a secret opening.
The Tele2 Arena finally officially opened on the 24th of August 2013 with a concert featuring several Swedish artists.
