Viborg Stadion, currently known as Energi Viborg Arena for sponsorship reasons, is the home of Danish Superliga club Viborg FF with a capacity of 10,000. Originally built in 1931, it also plays host to the Danish national women's football team.
The naming rights of the stadium were sold in October 2011 to Energi Viborg, an energy and water company.[4] While the deal was subject to some criticism,[5] it was later extended on several occasions.[6] The current agreement runs until the end of 2025.[7]
