A modern football arena

Nordec delivers steel structures for Oulu’s new football stadium

Oulu is investing in a new football stadium at the Heinäpää sports centre, creating a modern home for football in northern Finland. The 5,000-seat arena will host both national and international matches and provide year-round training conditions for players from junior teams to the professional level. 

The stadium is designed to meet strict UEFA standards and will strengthen northern Finland’s position in Finnish football. The project is developed by OTC Stadion Oy, the project’s investor, with Temotek Oy as the main contractor. Construction began in summer 2025, and the opening is planned for 2026. 

A modern football arena

Nordec’s delivery 

Nordec is responsible for the main steel structures from design to installation. The scope includes the main and surrounding grandstand roof trusses, beams, bracings, load-bearing roof sheets and the upper façade support frames. Close cooperation with the client and other partners ensures that design choices meet the demanding architectural and functional requirements of a modern football arena. 

Experience from major arenas 

The project draws on Nordec’s extensive experience with large sports and cultural venues. Previous references include the 92-metre roof trusses of Malmö Arena in Sweden and the complex frame geometry of Tampere’s Nokia Arena. This experience has refined Nordec’s methods in digital modelling, logistics planning and installation, supporting steady progress in Oulu. 

Timeline and progress 

Installation of the first trusses will begin in late November 2025. The work will progress through the winter according to schedule, shaping the future outline of the stadium. When complete, the stadium will offer covered seating, a heated pitch and facilities that extend the football season in northern conditions.
