De Kuip

De Kuip (Stadion Feijenoord) is the principal football stadium in Rotterdam and the long-standing home of Feyenoord. The stadium opened in 1937 and is noted for its open bowl design and event acoustics.

The venue seats roughly 51,000 spectators and regularly hosts domestic league matches, cup fixtures and large concerts. Visitors come to watch matches, take guided behind-the-scenes tours and visit the club museum that documents Feyenoord’s history.
