Kiruna FF begins outdoor training on heated Lombia pitch

Key Points
  • Kiruna FF has begun outdoor football training on Lombia's heated pitch in Kiruna.
  • The pitch was reportedly warmed by Kiruna municipality, allowing use after winter indoor sessions.
  • The team is training multiple times weekly, with hopes the warm weather continues.

Kiruna FF has started training on a full-sized outdoor football pitch in Kiruna, Sweden, after months of indoor futsal. The club can now use Lombia's green artificial turf, which has reportedly been heated by Kiruna municipality for several weeks. According to reports, the team is training four to five times a week, and there is hope that the warm conditions will persist.

Previously, Kiruna FF had reportedly demanded that the municipality build a temporary hall while awaiting the new Tarfallahallen, but the club had to train in sports halls during winter, which was not optimal.
