Nammo Stadion is a football stadium located at Raufoss, Norway, and is the home of Norwegian 1. divisjon club Raufoss. The stadium has a current capacity of 1,800 spectators.[1]

History

Plans for a new stadium for Raufoss Fotball were announced as early as November 2006.[2] The construction costs were estimated to NOK 25 million and the planned capacity was 6,000 of which 2,000 were seated. Problems with funding delayed the project several years, and in 2014, Raufoss Fotball announced to Oppland Arbeiderblad that they would have to withdraw from the project without funding guarantees from Raufoss municipality.[3]

Nammo Stadion was opened on 13 June 2015. Raufoss won the opening game against Sprint-Jeløy with the score 3–1.[4] In 2016, after Raufoss' promotion to the second tier, Raufoss was given NOK 1,500,000 from Oppland County municipality for facility upgrades, including under-soil heating, floodlights and increased under-roof seating capacity.[5]
