Høje Bøge Stadium


Høje Bøge Stadium is an association football stadium in Svendborg, Denmark. It is the home stadium of Danish 2nd Division club SfB-Oure FA. It has a capacity of 7,000, but the attendance record is 8,000 which happened in 1975 in a local matchup against Odense Boldklub in the second tier of the Danish football league system.
The stadium is the historic home ground of Svendborg fB, and since its superstructures: FC Svendborg, founded in 2008 and dissolved in 2017, as well as the merger team of SfB and Oure Fodbold Akademi : SfB Oure FA. The latter started using Høje Bøge as their home ground prior to the 2019–20 Denmark Series season, after moving from the pitches at Hellegårdsvej / Tipsvænget.

History

The name Høje Bøge literally means "tall beeches" and refers to the beech trees which surround the site of the stadium.
On 9 June 1997, Svendborg fB hosted Aarhus Fremad in a direct match for promotion to the Danish Superliga on Høje Bøge, which ended in disappointment for the home side which lost 1-3 and would miss out on the historic achievement.
Each summer, Høje Bøge hosts the one-day festival Høje Bøge Open Air, which is organised by Svendborg fB.
