Kupittaa Football Stadium (Finnish: Kupittaan jalkapallostadion; Swedish: Kuppis fotbollsstadion), officially Veritas Stadion for sponsorship reasons since 2003, is a football stadium in Turku, Finland. It is situated in the district of Kupittaa, in an area dedicated to sporting venues. The stadium serves as the home venue for the Veikkausliiga side FC Inter Turku, and Ykkösliiga side Turun Palloseura.
The stadium underwent an expansion in 2009, when a stand with 1,644 seats was built to meet the demands for the UEFA Women's Euro 2009.
The stadium has a capacity of 9,372 spectators, with 8,072 seats and 1,300 standing places.
There are two stands opposite to each other. The old Olympic stand (Olympiakatsomo) was built for the 1952 Summer Olympics and the new, modern main stand was built in 2003.
The old Kupittaa Stadium's record attendance was approximately 15,000 spectators for the 1987–88 UEFA Cup match between Turun Palloseura and Inter Milan. The stadium's attendance record since the 2003 renovation is 9125 spectators, set at a match between Inter Turku and Kuopion Palloseura in 2019.
The natural grass field was replaced to artificial turf surface in early 2023.
