Grolsch Veste

Grolsch Veste in Enschede is the vibrant home of FC Twente and a must-visit destination for football fans and sports enthusiasts. Opened in 1998 and expanded in 2008, the stadium stands out for its modern design and passionate atmosphere, with a seating capacity of just over 30,000. Located in the Business & Science Park near the University of Twente, Grolsch Veste is easily accessible and forms a lively hub on match days.

The stadium replaced the older Diekman Stadion to accommodate the club’s growing fan base and meet international standards. It has since become a symbol of Twente’s football culture, hosting not only domestic league matches but also major events such as the final of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2017. The all-seated arena ensures excellent views from every angle, and the energy from the stands is palpable, especially when FC Twente takes to the pitch.

Visitors can join guided tours to explore behind the scenes, including the players’ tunnel, locker rooms, and the club’s trophy displays. On non-match days, the stadium’s facilities often host conferences, events, and community gatherings. Whether you’re attending a thrilling match or touring the grounds, Grolsch Veste offers an authentic experience of Dutch football and the spirited community of Enschede.
