Sportland Arena – stadium description

The opening of the new pitch, right next to the A. Le Coq Arena, took place on October 7, 2003, with the inauguration featuring a mini-tournament for young players in the 1992 age group and a match between an Estonian Football Association team and a team made up of journalists, which ended with a score of 6–1.

Modest temporary stands for 500 spectators were erected on the west side of the pitch. The facility was initially known as the A. Le Coq MiniArena. In 2006, due to a sponsorship deal, the name was changed to Sportland Arena. Between 2017 and 2018, the stadium underwent a refurbishment that saw the removal of the existing spectator seating and the construction of a new covered stand on the east side instead.

The stadium is equipped with a pitch with artificial, heated turf and lighting masts giving 500 lux of light. The new, almost fully covered stand on the eastern side can accommodate 1,198 spectators. There are plans to build similar stands on each of the other three sides of the pitch, so that the stadium will eventually have a capacity of 4,500 spectators.

The facility could, in principle, be considered a side pitch for the country's most important football venue, but its role goes well beyond a mere training facility. The stadium is often used by local teams, playing their matches there also in the highest competition class (Meistriliiga). In addition, the venue often hosts matches for the Estonian Super Cup, and it has also occasionally hosted matches for the youth and women's national teams.
