场馆描述

Stadion Galgenwaard has been the home ground of FC Utrecht since 1930 but today exists in a complete different form having been completely rebuilt at the turn of the millennium. Before this, the first iteration of the “New Galgenwaard” opened on the 21st April 1981 when the club hosted PSV Eindhoven in the inaugural friendly match match. Sadly, just 20 years later as stadium designs and the expectations of the matchday experience had once again changed with the advent of the all-seating, modern day stadium becoming popular in England since the inception of the Premier League in 1992. FC Utrecht adapted their stadium by rebuilding three out of four stands across a two year period. Initially the club relocated the main stand and rebuilt it during the 2001 and 2002 season, and afterwards tended to the remaining two sections along the side of the pitch resulting in today’s 24,426 capacity stadium. The ground then acquired its current name of Stadion Galgenwaard in January 2002, and over the years has hosted a variety of sporting events including matches of the 1998 Hockey World Cup and the Football Youth Championships in 2005. FC Utrecht’s ground has also hosted a handful of matches of the Dutch national team including a 3-0 friendly defeat against Sweden in 1983 and a victory against Liechtenstein in 2004. For the foreseeable future it appears as if the club will continue to play at Galgenwaard as a 2009 feasibility study failed to demonstrate any business case for building a new ground.
