Jordal Amfi is an indoor sporting arena located in Oslo, Norway. The capacity of the arena is 5,500 and was opened in 1952. It is the home arena of the Vålerenga ishockey team.

One of Norway's most legendary sporting arenas. Opened for the 1952 Winter Olympics as the first purpose built ice hockey arenas in the country it quickly became the sports shrine in the country.

For many years it remained an outdoor arena, but in 1971 a roof was built with money left in figure skating legend Sonja Henie's will. This made Jordal Amfi the fourth indoor hockey rink in Norway.

In 1989 a new practice facility was opened next to the old arena. The so called Jordal Ungdomshall have 400 spectator places.
