Ground Hopper's 6th ground review out of 13 in the review of grounds from Holland. The 6th is one of Holland's finest teams which is Feyenoord. Ground

De Kuip
Feyenoord
Home since its completion in 1937 to Rotterdam's Feyenoord team. The impetus for its construction came from the successes of Feyenoord in the 1930's and the popularity of the national team during the "Lotsij Era". The new stadium was 'christened' by a friendly match between Feyenoord and Beerschot at its opening on March 22, 1937. People see a parallel with Ajax moving into their new Arena under Louis van Gaal. During the Euro 2000 championship the following games were played : Portugal - Germany, Spain - Norway, Denmark - Holland, the Holland (the winner of Group D) against Yugoslavia ( runner-up from Group C)  and the icing on the cake was the Final on July 2 2000.
