NEW AFC CLUBHOUSE AND MUNICIPAL SPORT PARK UP AND RUNNING! Photo: Ossip
The Amsterdam Football Club’s new clubhouse and the municipality’s new ‘Goed Genoeg’ sport park are officially in use. The AFC clubhouse itself, designed by Paul de Ruiter Architects, was sustainably built and is future-ready, with features including solar panels on the roof and district heating fed by residual heat. The new, partially covered stands seat 600 spectators for home matches of Amsterdam’s oldest football club. Once completed, the sport park will offer five artificial turf pitches that will also be available for nearby schools and clubs to use. The pitches have been relocated northward and now sit side by side. This has freed up space for another 1,350 new homes in Zuidas!
