History & description

In 1984, the stadium was extensively renovated and expanded to a current capacity of 33,000 making it one of Scandinavia's largest football stadiums. It hosted its first international match in 1951 when Sweden played against Norway. In the 1990s, both terraces at the ends got rebuilt and a new seater stand opposite the main stand was built. The stand ultimately was completely rebuilt in 2002 into a modern all-seater stand. At the same time, the other stands underwent a large refurbishment.

Aalborg Stadion has had several different names over the years. From 2007 to 2012 it was called Energi Nord Arena and in 2017 it changed its name to Aalborg Portland Park following a new sponsorship deal.

How to get to Aalborg Portland Park

Aalborg Portland Park is located west of the city centre at just under 2 kilometres from Nytorv Square. The walk from most city centre locations takes less than 20 minutes. Aalborg's main railway station is south of the city center, within a 25-minute walk from the stadium. Aalborg Vestby station is closer to the stadium, but if you're on the train coming from the north (Frederikshavn), it will stop at Aalborg Vestby. Get off at this station and walk for 10 minutes to reach the stadium.

You can also catch a train from Aalborg main station to Aalborg Vestby though trains only run once or twice an hour. Alternatively, take bus 2 to Vaeddelsobsbanen or bus 16 to Molholm from the bus station at the main railway station. You can catch bus 2 from Nytorv square or Jomfru Ane Gade as well. Get off at stop Kastetvej (bus 2) or Annebergvej (bus 16).
