Ullevål stadion is a rapid transit station of the Oslo Metro's Sognsvann Line. It is situated between the Sogn and Ullevål Hageby neighborhoods of the Oslo, Norway, borough of Nordre Aker. Located 5.3 kilometers (3.3 mi) from Stortinget, the station is served by lines 4 and 5 of the metro, with a combined five-minute headway. Travel time to Stortinget is nine minutes. It is named for and serves Ullevaal Stadion, a football venue home to Vålerenga and the Norway national football team.
The station opened on 10 October 1934 at the same times as the rest of the Sognsvann Line. The station received a major upgrade in 1993, in which it received longer platforms and an overpass. The new station was designed by Arne Henriksen. Since 2003 the Ring Line has branch off from the Sognsvann Line north of Ullevål stadion.
The Ullevål area had residential development from 1855. However, first in the 1920s was there a large-scale construction. Ullevål Hageby was served by the Ullevål Hageby Line of the Oslo Tramway from 1925. Ullevaal Stadion opened the following year, but initially lacked any proper public transport.Aker Municipality worked with plans for construction of a suburban railway which would serve the area. Holmenkolbanen was granted permission in 1922 to build a line, but the plans were placed on hold. Work commenced again in 1933 and the line opened on 10 October 1934.
