The Municipality of Växjö, with great enthusi- asm, supports the application to the IAAF to become an ATC. We believe that we can con- tribute to a strong and substantial centre with international competence and renown. The ATC can become an important part of Arenastaden’s future as Arenastaden has excellent material and pedagogic possibilities for the development of athletes.

A completely new, unique arena for athletics only, is planned to be built in direct connection with the existing Tipshallen. The new Carolina Klüft and Agne Bergvall. arena will contain everything required – amongst other things, six running lanes encompassing the arena! Since the new arena and Tipshallen will form a unit, it can offer enormous possibilities for training and competition. It is possible to compete in all throwing events indoors, apart from the hammer. The World Indoor Throwing Gala has twice been held at Tipshallen in Växjö. Two of the arrangers of the gala are Vésteinn Hafsteinsson and Agne Bergvall, who are also world renowned coaches for, amongst others, Gerd Kanter and Carolina Klüft respectively, and both of them operate from Växjö. In addition Arenastaden has excellent, high quality outdoor facilities, with a newly laid throwing field and an outdoor arena. It is therefore only natural that Arenastaden is in the process of developing into an even more important centre for national and international sport – both in terms of conditions radically improving with new arenas and stadiums and more and more international Vésteinn Hafsteinsson and Gerd Kanter in Tipshallen. coaches and active athletes finding their way to Växjö. Arenastaden, with its central location in Växjö is a sporting area and complex with a tremendous power of attraction.
