Kybunpark

The kybunpark, formerly known as AFG Arena, is a multi-use stadium in St. Gallen, Switzerland, completed in 2008. It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of FC St. Gallen of the Swiss Super League. It replaces the Espenmoos stadium, which lacked the facilities of modern era stadiums.

History and description
Planning for the construction of a new home for FC St. Gallen started in 2001, and four years later, in 2005, the club received the definite building permit. Soon after construction began, which was completed in 2008.

The stadium hosted its first match on 30 May 2008 when the national teams of Switzerland and Liechtenstein played a friendly (3-0). The new stadium officially opened a month later on the 5th of July.

Starting July 2012, the kybunpark is also the temporary home of FC Wil, while the second division side builds its own new stadium to meet Swiss Football League requirements.

The stadium is part of a larger complex that includes a shopping centre underneath the stadium, and an IKEA next door. The costs of the AFG Arena were CHF69 million, while the whole complex costed CHF 271 million.

In 2016, the stadium changed name from AFG Arena to kybunpark following a new naming rights sponsorship deal.
