The EM Stadion Wals-Siezenheim is a football stadium in Wals-Siezenheim, a suburb of Salzburg, Austria. It was officially opened in March 2003 and is the home ground of Red Bull Salzburg.
Its current seating capacity is 18,200. For the 2008 European Football Championship it will be expanded to 30,000.
The "EM Stadion Wals-Siezenheim" is the only stadium in the Austrian Bundesliga which uses artificial turf. Polytan's FIFA 2-Star Recommended 40mm surface Ligaturf with a 25mm elastic layer was installed in 2005.
