The stadium is the historic home ground of Svendborg fB (SfB), and since its superstructures: FC Svendborg, founded in 2008 and dissolved in 2017, as well as the merger team of SfB and Oure Fodbold Akademi (Oure FA): SfB Oure FA. The latter started using Høje Bøge as their home ground prior to the 2019–20 Denmark Series season, after moving from the pitches at Hellegårdsvej / Tipsvænget.[5]
History
editThe name Høje Bøge literally means "tall beeches" and refers to the beech trees which surround the site of the stadium.
On 9 June 1997, Svendborg fB hosted Aarhus Fremad in a direct match for promotion to the Danish Superliga on Høje Bøge, which ended in disappointment for the home side which lost 1–3 and would miss out on the historic achievement.[6][7]
Each summer, Høje Bøge hosts the one-day festival Høje Bøge Open Air, which is organised by Svendborg fB.[8]
