About Johan Cruijff Arena
The Johan Cruijff Arena opened in 1996 as the Amsterdam ArenA, replacing Ajax's former home, the De Meer Stadion. It was designed by the Dutch architectural firm Architectenbureau Sjoerd Soeters and Rob Schuurman. The stadium became the first in Europe to feature a retractable roof. In 2018 it was renamed the Johan Cruijff Arena in honour of the legendary Ajax and Netherlands forward Johan Cruijff, who passed away in 2016. The venue has hosted UEFA Champions League finals, UEFA Europa League finals, and numerous international concerts, cementing its status as a landmark of European sport and entertainment.
Ajax supporters are among the most passionate in Europe, and the Johan Cruijff Arena generates a fierce, intense atmosphere on matchdays. The steep, enclosed lower tier and retractable roof help to trap noise, amplifying the sound of the home support. The famed section F-Side, home to Ajax's most vocal ultras, drives much of the matchday energy with choreographed displays, banners, and relentless singing from kick-off to the final whistle.
