History and description
Fortuna Sittard Stadion got built in the late 1990s to replace Fortuna Sittard’s old De Baandert stadium, which did not meet standards of modern time.
The stadium officially opened on 14 November 1999 with a friendly match between Fortuna and Schalke 04, though the stadium had yet to be entirely completed.
