Laugardalsvellur Stadium
Description:
Laugardalsvellur Stadium is the national stadium of Iceland, in Reykjavik. Its opening took place in 1958, and it was then that the first grandstand appeared in the stadium.
The second tribune, located opposite the first, appeared in 1997. The stadium has a capacity of 9800 spectators. Another 5,620 people can be accommodated on concrete benches. Due to FIFA restrictions, these benches are only used in domestic competitions.
