Friends Arena, the national arena of Sweden, is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium located next to Lake Råstasjön in Solna, just north of Stockholm City Centre, Sweden. It is the largest indoor arena in Europe.
The main tenants of the stadium are Sweden's national football team and top-tier football club AIK. Both relocated from their previous home at the Råsunda Stadium. The inauguration game was played on 14 November 2012, when Sweden defeated England 4–2 in a friendly match.
