– It is a good temporary solution for VSK to be able to play the home matches in Västerås, says Vicki Skure Eriksson (C), chairman of the committee for sports, leisure and prevention in the city of Västerås.
On Wednesday afternoon, the city of Västerås, the property owner Rocklunda fastigheter and Västerås SK football presented how to meet the Swedish Football Association’s arena requirements ahead of VSK’s games in the 2024 Football Allsvenskan.
Applying for exemption
According to the property owner, a lot will be in place for the series premiere, such as requirements for lighting and camera surveillance, however, exemptions will be sought for several “small things”.
– You can get exemptions for things we cannot fulfill immediately, but then we need to show the football association that we also have a plan going forward. We are working on it in parallel, says Johan Boman Smede, head of administration at Rocklunda properties.
The temporary grandstand, which began construction on one short side this week, will initially accommodate 500 people. It will eventually take 2,000 people.
