Öster Stadium

Myresjöhus Arena

Växjö 12,000 capacity

Östers IF plays at Myresjöhus Arena, a modern stadium located in Växjö, the administrative capital of Kronoberg county in Småland, southern Sweden. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 12,000 spectators and was built as part of Växjö's development as a regional centre. Östers IF is associated with the city of Växjö, a community known for its lakes, forests, and — in recent years — its status as one of Europe's greenest cities, having committed to running entirely on renewable energy. The football club adds a sporting dimension to a city that has invested significantly in sustainability and quality of life.

Östers IF has a notable Swedish football history, having won the Allsvenskan championship four times (1968, 1978, 1980, and 1981) and been a regular presence in the top flight during Swedish football's historical development. The club's four titles place it among Sweden's historically significant clubs, and the Myresjöhus Arena has inherited the history of the earlier venues where those championship campaigns were conducted. Östers' return to Allsvenskan in recent years has been celebrated throughout Småland, bringing top Swedish football back to a region that had been without it for an extended period.

Myresjöhus Arena provides a modern and comfortable home for Östers' Allsvenskan campaigns, with the commercial naming rights from a local construction company reflecting the club's integration with Växjö's business community. The stadium's design creates a good football atmosphere for the local Allsvenskan experience, and the club's return to the top flight has generated renewed enthusiasm among a fanbase that had remained loyal through years in the lower Swedish divisions. As Östers IF works to establish itself in Allsvenskan, Myresjöhus Arena will serve as the setting for an important new chapter in the club's long and distinguished football history.
