Football field in the Arctic Circle (10 photos). Norway: stadium in the Lafoten Islands
March 25th, 2018, 06:00 pm
There are Lafoten Islands in Norway with a football field.
Amazing place.
I noticed it for a long time, but decided to show it here.
In the Lafoten Islands, where 24,000 Norwegians live, the islanders are impatient to provide themselves with an open stadium. And after all, the local club playing in the third league already has a Stranda Stadion with 3,000 seats! The new one is intended for amateurs, therefore it is not equipped with stands. The building is called "Henningsv?r stadium" and is located next to the village of the same name for five hundred souls. This is a pretty fishing village with traditional Scandinavian architecture that tourists go crazy over.
Idrettslag stadium in a small fishing village Henningsvær holding two small islands in the Norwegian archipelago Lofontaine. It can hardly be called a stadium, since there are no stands here - just a few meters of asphalt around the field. The ground is used only for amateur football, but the majestic location has already made Idrettslag famous all over the world. Many would dream of playing football on such an unusual site.
The stadium is located on a rocky islet surrounded by stunning scenery of dramatic mountains with jagged peaks, open sea and bays. The football field was laid on solid rock in the southernmost part of the island of Henningsvær and quickly gained worldwide popularity due to such a dramatic location. An asphalt strip has been laid around the perimeter of the field, which simultaneously serves as stands, parking and car parking. The tiny capacity of the stadium seems sufficient, as the village of Henningsvær has approximately 500 inhabitants.
Artificial peat is used as a field cover, since natural grass will not take root in such harsh conditions. The stadium is mainly used by representatives of the amateur club Henningsvar IL to teach football to local children and play friendly matches. It even has lighting towers for evening games.
We will not hint at anything here and show photographs of the coverage of the football field at the stadium for space money, but just let's see what kind of football field there is in the Lofoten Islands.
Here's what it looks like in more detail... 
For Russians, the football field beyond the Arctic Circle is not so unseen. Anyone can drink for courage, wrap themselves in warm furs and type “stadium in Vorkuta” into Google. After that, a severe cold will blow on him from the computer.
But what cannot be taken away from Norway is the ability to embody its quirks in a picturesque way.
