NEC NIJMEGEN - VITESSE ARNHEM

Stadium

When Karel Aalbers became chairman of Vitesse in the early nineties, he once said that in the province of Gelderland there should be only one professional football club. He also decided to build the Gelredome in the far south of the city so it would be easier for people from Nijmegen to come and support Vitesse.
