It also hosted the headquarters of the Swedish Football Association, and staged 75% of the home matches of the national football team each year, with most other matches being played at Ullevi in Gothenburg. These two stadiums are UEFA 4-star rated football stadiums.[citation needed]
The record attendance was 52,943 and was set on 26 September 1965, when Sweden played West Germany. West Germany won the match 2–1.
