Falcon Alkoholfri Arena

Association football stadium in Falkenberg, Sweden

Falcon Alkoholfri Arena is a football stadium in Falkenberg, Sweden. It is home to Allsvenskan club Falkenbergs FF and seats 5,500 spectators.[1] The naming rights for the stadium are owned by Carlsberg Group, and the stadium is named after the Carlsberg-owned beer brand Falcon. Swedish law does not allow for the marketing of alcoholic drinks, hence the choice to name it after their alcohol-free variant.
