Veritas Stadium

Veritas Stadion in Turku is an international-standard football stadium whose design reflects several stages of development. The complex consists of four stands, including the historic Olympic Stand dating from 1952 and newer sections completed during later expansions. The stadium provides 9,072 seated places, while its heated artificial playing surface supports high-level competitive football.

The arrangement of the stands keeps spectators close to the pitch and creates a compact atmosphere during football matches. Depending on the event and the sections in use, visitors can find food and drink kiosks, hospitality areas and VIP facilities within the main stand. Several entrances serve different parts of the stadium, so checking the section shown on the ticket before arrival is recommended.

The stadium is located at Hippoksentie 6, Turku, Finland, in the Kupittaa area. A limited number of parking spaces are available directly beside the stadium around Blomberginaukio, while access to individual stands is provided from different sides of the complex.

Turku, located in Southwest Finland, is one of Finland's most interesting cities for visitors who combine their trip with concerts, sporting events and other major events. The city's historic character blends with a modern selection of events, restaurants, bars and accommodation, making it easy to organize a stay around the main event. Its compact city centre is an additional advantage, as many services, cultural attractions and nightlife venues can be reached on foot or by public transport.

Getting around Turku is straightforward thanks to the regional public transport system Föli, whose bus routes connect the city centre with different districts and important transport hubs. For travellers arriving by rail, the key stations are Turku railway station (Turun rautatieasema) and Kupittaa station, while air travel is served by Turku Airport. The combination of rail connections, bus transport and a relatively compact urban area makes it easy to continue the journey towards the city's arenas, stadiums and other event venues.

Before or after an event, it is worth discovering Turku's historic and riverside character. The River Aura runs through the heart of the city, and a walk along its banks leads past restaurants, historic buildings and some of Turku's best-known landmarks. Places that can easily be included in a visit include Turku Market Square, Old Great Square, Turku Cathedral and Turku Castle, making a concert or sporting event a good opportunity to explore one of Finland's oldest and most distinctive urban centres.
