Riisvangen Stadion (Danish: [ˈʁisˌvɑŋˀn̩], "Riis Meadow") is an association football stadium in Aarhus N. It is the home stadium of Danish 2nd Division club Aarhus Fremad. [6] Stadium capacity is 5,000, but the attendance record is 3,200 which occurred when the club competed in the Danish Superliga, in a matchup against Ikast fS on 2 November 1997.
Riisvangen Stadion was constructed in the 1936 on the initiative of Aarhus Municipality. [2] During this period, the population of Aarhus had experienced a large population growth concentrated around northern Aarhus, known as Aarhus N, and the construction of a sports facility would facilitate needs to nurture sports in the area. The stadium was built in an area which, at that time, was devoid of buildings. [2]
Initially, IK Skovbakken used the stadium as their home ground before the club moved to the later established sports complex Vejlby-Risskov Idrætscenter. [7]
In April 2018, a new wooden stand was initiated against Brønshøj Boldklub. [3] On 4 October 2019, Fremad announced a sponsorship deal with Royal Unibrew, which meant that the stand was named " Faxe Kondi Tribunen", after the soft drink produced by the company. [8]
