Tammelan Stadion is a football stadium in Tampere, Finland. It is the home ground for the Veikkausliiga club Ilves, Ykkönen club Tampere United, and the Kakkonen side TPV. The Ilves women's team which plays in the Naisten Ykkönen also uses the stadium. The new Tammelan stadium is available from the 2024 season.

Stadium

The previous stadium did not meet the requirements set by Veikkausliiga, so a replacement was necessary. The city of Tampere held an architecture competition in 2014 in which a proposal called Hattutemppu (‘hat trick’) by JKMM Architects was chosen as the basis for the development project. The new building would comprise apartments as well as office and retail spaces in addition to the stadium. The new stadium was originally set to seat approximately 6,500 spectators and meet the UEFA Category 3 criteria. However, in December 2020, the city council decided to increase allocated funding so that the stadium would have 8,000 seats and meet the criteria for Category 4, which makes it an eligible ground for top-level football matches. The complex also includes a shopping center, parking and auxiliary facilities on the ground level of the stadium. The shopping center was opened on the 9th of November 2023.

The stadium is a UEFA category 4 stadium with an artificial turf. Construction work on the stadium was completed in January 2024 and the first competitive games were held in the pre-season Finnish League Cup. The official premier was held on 6 April, in the 2024 Veikkausliiga season opening game between Ilves and FC Lahti.

International games

Since its opening, Tammelan Stadion has hosted the home matches of the Finland women's national football team and the Finland national under-21 football team.
