History and description

The A. Le Coq Arena is the largest football stadium in Estonia and the home of the Estonian national team. Lillekula Stadium, built in 2001, replaced Kadriorg Stadium as Estonia's principal football venue. The stadium officially opened on 2 June 2001 with the Estonia vs Netherlands World Cup qualifier.

A year after the stadium was renamed, a naming rights sponsorship deal with a local beer brewer led to its new name, A. Le Coq Arena.

The A. Le Coq Arena has been selected to host the 2018 European Super Cup. The stadium will be expanded to a capacity of 15,000 for the event.
