Today some qualifying matches against low-profile opponents and some friendlies are held at Tampere Stadium in Tampere and Veritas Stadion in Turku. Helsinki’s Bolt Arena, which has artificial turf, is also used for some friendlies and ties. During the reconstruction of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in 2016-20, the Tampere Stadium served as the main stadium for qualifying matches.
