HC Fribourg-Gottéron

Fribourg will have a new arena in 2017

In agreement with the city, HC Fribourg-Gotteron discarded the project of a renovation of Saint-Léonard Arena and have decided in favor of building a new facility.

From several years the arena requires renovation. Built in 1982, it has no longer sufficient safety standards and does not offer enough seats (6800 seats/standing)

According to studies, the construction of a new venue will cost 10-20% more than a renovation. That is why club and the city have decided to build a new arena.

Currently, two projects are being developed. The club hopes to move into its new home for the season 2017/2018.
