Buechenwald
Gossau, Switzerland
Formerly: Gemeindesportplatz Büchenwald
The old ground, which had existed since 1952, was demolished in 2023. A new grandstand with 600 seats was officially opened on March 22, 2025. The playing surface is artificial turf, installed in 2006 to last through the changes.
The facility is owned by the Municipality of Gossau and serves as the home ground for FC Gossau, which competes in the Zweite Liga Interregional. The main pitch measures 100 x 66 meters. The stadium also features floodlights.
Capacity figures vary by source and configuration. Older records list an approximate total capacity of 4,670, with 170 seated in a covered stand and 4,500 standing. Other sources cite a capacity of 3,500 or 3,000 seats expandable to 5,250.
The venue includes a complex with multiple fields, a swimming pool, and an indoor sports hall at Seminarstrasse 10 used by Gossau SG Handball. No notable events such as Swiss Cup finals, international matches, or concerts were recorded for the site. The most significant recent occasion was a friendly match on March 5, 2025, where FC Gossau defeated FC Besa 5-0 in the new stadium.
