Vitesse Arnhem History
|
Vitesse Arnhem is a Dutch football
club which was founded in 1892. The idea of conceiving a soccer
team stemmed from the club's early roots as a cricket club.
While never having much success in the Dutch Eredivisie nor was
it considered as a close competitor of the top three clubs of
Netherlands soccer, namely PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and Ajax
Amsterdam, it once attracted big name signings in its ranks from
its various years in Dutch top flight football such as Roy
Makaay, Marc van Hintum, Sander Westerveld, Victor Sikora and
John Veldman. Its home in the city of Arnhem is the unique
Gelredome stadium built in 1998, featuring a retractable roof as
well as a convertible pitch that can be retracted when unused
during concerts or other events held at the stadium although its
capacity was rather modest with only 29,600 spectators at most.
It is also one of the various venues for the Euro 2000
tournament held in the Netherlands and Belgium. |
