Arena Vänersborg is an indoor arena in Vänersborg, Sweden. It is used for bandy, concerts and other events.
The arena is the home of IFK Vänersborg. It hosted the 2013 Bandy World Championship,[1] when Division A and Division B were separate events for the second time.[2] The arena also hosted the 2019 Bandy World Championship.
The arena has been the target of high local press attention because of the high cost overrun. The city has approved a cost of just over SEK 100 million, although the end cost was around SEK 230 million (US$30 million).[citation needed]
