Jämtkraft Arena
The pitch at Jämtkraft Arena is artificial and electrically heated. The heating is why, during the 2012 Swedish Winter Games, the ground could be turned over to a stadium motocross event — the first held on heated artificial turf — with 4,100 people in for it. The stadium sits in the Odensala district and is owned and run by Östersund Municipality.
In 2013, once Östersunds FK reached the Superettan, a standing terrace went up behind the north goal and a restaurant behind the south. Promotion to the Allsvenskan in 2016 moved the restaurant again, added another terrace and brought the capacity to 8,466. Winning the Swedish Cup meant European football, and European football meant UEFA Category 4: the terraces were converted to seats, the pitch widened from 65 to 68 metres, and the ground outside asphalted.
The cup final itself was played here on 13 April 2017, ÖFK beating IFK Norrköping 4–1 in front of 8,369. The Europa League matches followed across 2017 and 2018, against Hertha Berlin, Athletic Club, Zorya Luhansk and Arsenal; the Arsenal night in February 2018 drew 8,009. Östersunds DFF share the ground.
