Johan Cruyff ArenA in Amsterdam

“Playing soccer is very simple, but playing simple soccer is the hardest thing there is.” This quote from Johan Cruyff reflects the personality and philosophy of this soccer genius. After his death, the stadium of the club where he began his playing career (Ajax Amsterdam) was renamed the Johan Cruyff ArenA.

This sports venue, inaugurated in 1996, had the distinction of being the first stadium in Europe with a retractable roof. Since then, it has hosted major sporting events, including the 1998 Champions League final, matches from the 2000 European Championship, and the 2013 Europa League final.
