FARUM PARK - FC NORDSJAELLAND - CAPACITY: 10,000 Farum Park, Idrætsvænget 2, 3520 Farum
About the Farum Park Stadium - Capacity: 10,000 All Seater Exiled Scunthorpe United and Walsall fans look no further for a slice of lego stadium action that the smart little stadium in the Copenhagen surburbs. FC Nordsjaelland’s Farum Park was opened a few seasons ago to provide a home to the progressive club, and has since seen their remarkable rise from formation in 1991 to UEFA Cup football this season. All four stands are uniform and are covered, although with average attendances failing to break the 4,000 mark it can be very soleless on occasions. When FCK or Brondby are visiting expect a much better atmosphere. Despite the fact it is all seater, the hardcore (as hardcore as it gets here in sleepy Farum) stand behind the west goal. The stadium has a cafe bar at the north end, next to the club shop where any supporters are free to use before or after the game.
Also around the stadium you will find the traditional sausage grills and beer sellers meaning no one will go hungry or thirsty.
Who Plays There? FC Nordsjælland play in the town of Farum, just outside Copenhagen. The team is part of the much bigger sporting club know as Farum BK. Currently they play in the Danish Superliga and this season they are also appearing the the UEFA Cup for the first time, thanks to the Fair Play award. The club were only formed in 1991 and since 2002 they have played in the top division, finishing in 3rd place in 2003, their best ever season.
How to get to Farum Park Almost all supporters tend to arrive on S-Tog Line A from Copenhagen city centre, that takes around 35 minutes from the central station and runs every 10 minutes. A single ticket will cost 500DKR, so it is often better value to buy a day pass for all zones which is just 110 DKR. Once you get out at Farum, which is the terminus for line A you can either walk to the stadium or get a regular 333 bus that drops you right outside the stadium. To walk simply cross the road from the station and walk down Ryttersgardsvej, across a couple of roundabouts and you will see the stadium ahead of you. The walk will take you no longer than 15 minutes.
