The stadium was built on the exact site of the former Gamla Ullevi, which was demolished in 2007.
The total construction cost for the stadium was approximately 340 million SEK.
The stadium features a 'hybrid' pitch, which combines natural grass with artificial fibers to improve stability and drainage.

The stadium's nickname among local supporters is often just 'Nya' (The New one), despite being named after its predecessor.
It is built to satisfy UEFA Category 4 stadium requirements, allowing it to host major international matches.
Gamla Ullevi is a football-specific stadium in Gothenburg, serving as the home ground for the professional clubs IFK Göteborg, GAIS, and Örgryte IS. Inaugurated in 2009, the venue replaced the original stadium of the same name and features a seating capacity of approximately 18,000 spectators. The pitch uses a hybrid grass surface designed to withstand the Nordic climate and intensive match schedules. It serves as the primary arena for the Swedish women's national football team. The structure is characterized by its compact bowl design, which positions spectators close to the playing field. The facility includes modern hospitality areas, media centers, and locker rooms that meet UEFA requirements. It is located within the Ullevi sports district, near the larger Ullevi stadium. The stadium is owned and operated by the City of Gothenburg through the municipal company Got Event.
The elevated walkway near the main entrance offers a clear view of the stadium exterior and the glass facade.
