History
The stadium was opened on August 17, 1941 and is intended for football matches and athletics competitions. “Ryuavallen” for many years was the home arena of the football clubs “ Elfsborg ” and “ Norrby ”, until in 2005 the opening of the Boros-Arena neighborhood took place.
The main event that took place on Ryauavlen was the holding of matches of the 1958 World Cup . The stadium in Borås was honored to take on two fights between teams of 4 groups at once. So, on June 11, the USSR national team overcame the Austrian team here with a score of 2: 0 [2] , and four days later the British with the same Austrians played a fighting draw (2: 2) [3] . In the first match 21,239 spectators were present at the stadium, and in the second - 15 872.
The record of attendance of football matches in club club competitions was set on September 3, 1961 in a duel between Elfsborg and Norrköping , which was watched live by 22,654 spectators [4] . After the reconstruction, the capacity of the stadium decreased, so there was no longer any opportunity to exceed this record.
In 2005, a new modern sports arena appeared in the city, where local football clubs continued their performances. Nevertheless, Ryauvallen began to be used as a venue for athletics competitions. One of the stands along the field (northern) was demolished, and in its place a track and field athletics hall was built for indoor competitions. In this regard, the capacity of the stadium decreased from 19,400 seats to 12,000, about half of which are under a canopy. The last major reconstruction affected the stadium in 2012 [5] . The sports complex includes 8 tracks for running at a distance of up to 100 meters, 6 running tracks around the football field , 4 pits for jumping, sectors for pushing the core , pole vaulting and high jumps . The arena was equipped with a loudspeaker, changing rooms and a sufficient number of toilets. The Imer Sports Society holds its competitions here.
