Viborg Stadium

In 2001, the old stadium was demolished^[3] in order for a new stadium to be built in its place at a cost of 62.1 million Danish kroner (93.8 million DKK in 2023).^[4] While the main stadium itself was completed by the following year, work continued until 2007 as standing sections were re-introduced to the stadium. With an overall capacity of 10,000 seats, only 9,566 are seated with the remainder being evenly split between both the home and away sides for standing room. In 2008, two large screens were also added to the stadium.^[5]

The stadium currently contains a heated pitch, as well as floodlights capable of providing 1200 lux.^[6]

Previously, the stadium has also played host to the Danish men's B squad in October 1956. While Denmark lost the match 4–0 to Sweden,^[7] the 18,000 in attendance set a then-record for the entirety of Scandinavia.^{[citation needed]} The stadium also hosted several matches throughout the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, hosting three matches for Group B as well as a semi-final match.^[8]

From 2015 until 2024, the Danish women’s national team also regularly played at the stadium. When the agreement between the Danish Football Association and Viborg municipality expired in the summer of 2024, the women’s team left and began using multiple venues within the country.^[9]

The men's national team also played at the stadium in a friendly on 8 June 2015, hosting the national team from Montenegro.^[10] With 9,180 fans in attendance, Denmark won the match 2–1 with two goals in the second half.^[11]

On 15 June 2008, the stadium played host to its first concert as Dolly Parton played at the ground as part of her Backwoods Barbie Tour.^[12]

The naming rights of the stadium were sold in October 2011 to Energi Viborg, an energy and water company.^[13] While the deal was subject to some criticism,^[14] it was later extended on several occasions.^[15] The current agreement runs until the end of 2025.^[16]
