Stadium
For more details on this topic, see Örjans Vall.Halmstads BK plays it home matches on Örjans Vall, which they share together with local rivals IS Halmia. However since Örjans Vall is an old stadium, built in 1922, it doesn't meet the present European demands for stadiums, forcing Halmstads BK to play their European games on Olympia, Helsingborg, or at Ullevi, Göteborg.
Örjans Vall was the site of 2 games during the 1958 FIFA World Cup, Northern Ireland–Czechoslovakia and Argentina–Northern Ireland.
In later years, demands for a new stadium have been louder, but nothing have been decided yet.
