Old Stadion, Multi-purpose stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The brick-built stadium featured covered stands that could accommodate 29,000 spectators during sports matches and national competitions in the early 1900s.

Architect Harry Elte designed and constructed this national sports facility between 1913 and 1914 after winning a prestigious architectural competition in 1912.

The stadium represented the first major sports development in Amsterdam, establishing a foundation for athletic events before the construction of the Olympic Stadium.

The facility hosted numerous football matches but lacked the necessary infrastructure for track running and cycling competitions, which limited its long-term functionality.

The stadium's legacy continues through the neighborhood name Stadionbuurt, where it stood until 1929 before making way for residential developments in Plan Zuid.
