Hietalahti Stadium (Finnish: Hietalahden jalkapallostadion, Swedish: Sandvikens fotbollsstadion), also known as Lemonsoft Stadion for sponsorship reasons,[1] is a multi-purpose stadium in Vaasa, Finland. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Vaasan Palloseura. The stadium has a capacity of 6,009 spectators.[2]

The stadium was originally built in 1935. It was expanded to its current capacity in 2015–2016.[3][4] Prior to its 2022 Lemonsoft sponsorship deal,[1] the name sponsor of the stadium was the Finnish telecommunications company Elisa.[5]

Hietalahti Stadium co-hosted the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in July 2018.[6]
