Skanska has entered into an agreement worth approximately Skr580m ($58.4m) with the Municipality of Landskrona to construct a football stadium and an indoor swim centre in Sweden.
The contract will be included under the company’s Sweden segment for the second quarter of 2025.
The new stadium will have a capacity of 6,800 spectators, all seated under a roof, and will be suitable for matches in the highest division.
The swim centre will feature two pools: a 50m pool and a 25m pool with a height-adjustable bottom, alongside a swimming play area.
Preparatory work has been underway since mid-2024 in collaboration with the municipality.
The construction of these sports facilities forms a part of the broader development of the Karlslund recreation area.
Project construction is set to commence in August this year. The football arena is expected to be completed in 2027 while the swim centre is set for completion in 2028.
Skanska, a construction and project development company with revenues of Skr177bn in 2024, operates in the Nordics, Europe, and the US and employs roughly 26,300 people.
In addition to the Landskrona development, Skanska recently secured a contract for foundational and quay construction for the Beccs Stockholm facility, a carbon capture and storage project, with Stockholm Exergi.
This contract, valued at Skr990m, will see construction commencing immediately and is expected to conclude in 2028.
Furthermore, this February, Skanska agreed with the Västra Götaland region to renovate and expand the Eastern Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. This project involves remodelling two levels of the existing central clinic and adding a new five-storey building.
