The facility was inaugurated in late 2012 to replace and complement aging local sports infrastructure.
The architectural design incorporates a significant amount of glass to maximize natural light within the secondary training halls.
The arena is part of a larger sports cluster known as the Olympia area, named after the nearby football stadium.
The floor surface can be completely converted from polished sport court material to concrete or carpet within hours for non-sporting events.
The venue hosted the 2017 World Floorball Championships matches.
Its construction was part of a major urban development project aimed at centralizing Helsingborg's professional sports teams under one roof.
Helsingborg Arena is a large-scale multi-purpose indoor sports and event facility located in northern Helsingborg. The complex features a main arena with a capacity for approximately 5,000 spectators for sporting events and up to 5,500 for concerts. It serves as the home court for local elite teams including the floorball club FC Helsingborg and handball club OV Helsingborg. The facility encompasses several practice halls, a gym, and conference rooms suitable for corporate gatherings. The design includes flexible seating arrangements that allow the space to adapt from sports matches to trade fairs or theatrical performances. Its strategic location integrates the venue with the adjacent Idrottens Hus and nearby outdoor athletic fields to form a comprehensive sports hub. The arena is owned by the Municipality of Helsingborg and functions as a primary regional destination for national sporting championships and major musical acts.
The elevated walkway bridge connecting the parking area to the main entrance offers a clear view of the arena's glass-heavy exterior.
Check the official arena calendar before arriving, as public access to the main hall is restricted during private events and matches.
Bring layers, as the climate control in large indoor arenas can fluctuate between the spectator stands and the lobby areas.
Use the venue's digital signage to navigate between the main hall and the smaller B and C practice halls.
Do not attempt to enter the venue through staff-only service entrances located on the north side of the building.
Open year-round but active operations are heavily dependent on the scheduling of league matches and touring events; restricted access on non-event days.
