10 Facts About Ullevi

Ullevi, sometimes known as Nya Ullevi, is a multi-purpose stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Ullevi held three Group B matches at UEFA Euro 1992 as well as a semi-final, and the final itself on 26 June in which Denmark won the trophy against Germany.

Ullevi nearly collapsed during a Bruce Springsteen concert on 8 June 1985 due to the rhythmic movement of tens of thousands of people in the audience and the clay soil on which the stadium is built.

Ullevi was treated in the stadium before returning to the stage to continue the rest of the concert sitting down in a chair while a medic applied a cast.

Since March 2007, Ullevi has one of Sweden's largest solar power plants, consisting of 600m² of solar photovoltaic panels situated on the roof of the luxury boxes section.
