Prioritet Serneke Arena is a multi-sport complex in the district of Kviberg in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The arena, located in Kviberg Park in eastern Gothenburg, is the largest multi-sport complex in the Nordic countries.[1] It has a total area of 45,300 m² spread out on seven floors, and houses amongst other things a 1.2 km long indoor all-season skiing trail and a full-size football pitch with a spectator capacity of 3,300.[2][3] There are also two sports other halls (for handball, etc.), a restaurant, a hotel, conference areas, a fitness centre, and a sports injury clinic.[2][4] The complex is also used by the elementary school Änglagårdsskolan connected to IFK Göteborg, the sports gymnasium Aspero Idrottsgymnasium and the football academy of IFK Göteborg.[5]
The plans to build Prioritet Serneke Arena were conceived in the mid-2000s by the contracting company Serneke, the head of the IFK Göteborg Academy Roger Gustafsson and the "Änglagårdsskolan".[2][6][4] The first names of the project were "Änglagården" (an informal nickname of the Academy) and later on "Göteborgs Nya Arena".[6][7] The first plans were to build an indoor arena and school premises with a total area of 23,000 m². In 2010, discussions with other parties started and a skiing trail, fitness centre, hotel, restaurant, and conference areas were added to the plans.[3] The project broke ground on 1 August 2012 and after three years of construction, the facilities were opened to the public on 10 July 2015.[3] The current name was unveiled in connection to the opening.[3]
It is owned and operated by Serneke and the financial institution Prioritet Finans.[6][3] The complex was designed by architects Fredrik Hansson and Rickard Stark from OkiDoki! Arkitekter and the building cost was SEK 800 million.[1]
