The Helsinki Olympic Stadium, the largest in Finland, underwent a major renovation from 2016 to 2020, which modernized the facilities while preserving its historic character.
Many Finnish stadiums use artificial turf due to the harsh winter conditions, allowing for extended playing seasons.
The Bolt Arena in Helsinki features a unique design with one side of the stadium built into a granite cliff face.
Finland’s northern location means that some matches in the summer can be played under natural light even late into the evening, thanks to the “midnight sun” phenomenon.
Despite the relatively small capacities compared to other European countries, Finnish stadiums are known for their intimate atmospheres and close proximity of fans to the pitch.
