The complex at the Hazelaarweg is first and foremost set up to serve the sporting needs of members. As V.O.C. is both a football and cricket club, our complex is open all year round. Roughly, you could say that the club is used for playing cricket from May to August and for football from September to April. Having said that, overlapping activities will always occur given the fact that the national football association and cricket association do not coordinate their programmes.

The V.O.C. sports hall has been in use since 1 September 2003. With 389 m2 of surface area (32.40 metres long x 12 metres wide), it is suitable for many purposes. In the first place, the hall is fit for use for indoor cricket practice sessions. Many cricket clubs, including the Dutch national team and selected youth team, have found their way to the hall. In addition, as icing on the cake, the V.O.C. was pleased to act as host for the Australian and Indian teams in the summer of 2004. It can proudly say that all users of the hall, including national and international top athletes, have been more than happy with the facilities and level of service. When set up for playing cricket, the hall has three nets and an excellent batting pitch. With a total length of 32.40 metres, there is ample room for the bowler's approach. There is also a BOLA bowling machine available for use.

Woudestein is the home base of Jupiler League football club Excelsior. Following extensive renovations in 2000, the new stadium opened its doors in its current form in 2000. The stadium has a capacity of 3,531 spectators and offers excellent facilities for practice and competition.

With thousands of visitors per event, over a million visitors each year and a line-up of national and international stars, Ahoy is a well-known venue for concerts and events. But that's not all Ahoy has to offer. Take, for instance, the trade fair and events centre with a surface area of a whopping 30,000 m2. Or the versatile congress and meeting centre: an ideal location for meetings, conferences, congresses and presentations. And what about the Ahoy Plaza where you, your friends, acquaintances or business associates can enjoy a bite to eat or a drink in one of the many restaurants and cafés? Our multifunctional trade fair and event halls make Ahoy truly unique.
But there is more to Ahoy than just space and facilities. The expertise of our professionals is equally important. After all, organising is our core business. Ahoy has the capacity to accommodate virtually any size event. Are you looking for a venue for a conference-slash-dinner party? Or a concert combined with a meeting? A sports event and a presentation? Leave it to us. In fact, the more complex the job, the bigger the challenge.
The possibilities are as varied as the events you can organise in Ahoy, whether it is business, pleasure or a combination of the two. From state-of-the-art trade fairs to electrifying pop concerts. From educational conferences to dazzling sports events. In everything we do, we keep in mind that visitors and organisers are looking to provide meaningful experiences. My Ahoy. Experience it.

De Kuip is a multifunctional complex with 50,000 seats, most of which are covered. De Kuip is the home stadium of football club Feyenoord, but hosts more than just football. The adjacent Maasgebouw allows for a combination of sports, culture and entertainment. Inside is a restaurant, De Kuip Eten en Drinken, which serves lunch, dinner and cocktails. The professional staff of De Kuip's Congress and Event Centre are happy to advise you on the possibilities to host events, pop concerts, theme parties, business meetings, staff parties and conferences at De Kuip. It is not without reason that the Feijenoord Stadium is the most popular stadium in the Netherlands: its excellent accessibility by car (5 minutes from the A16) and public transport (tram 23) and free parking make it an ideal choice for any occasion.

Topsportcentrum Rotterdam offers (top-level) sports and sports clubs an ideal basis for all indoor sports, from training sessions and competitions to events. The centre includes facilities such as a top-level sports hall with a capacity of 2,500 spectators, a recreational sports hall, a food court and a business lounge. The first division teams of the Rotterdam Challengers, Zadkine Rotterdam. Nesselande, TPP Rotterdam and Challenge Sports/Binnenland all play their home matches here. The complex also accommodates Rotterdam Topsport, the Olympic Network Rotterdam, the Sportmedisch Centrum and a physiotherapy practice. Topsportcentrum Rotterdam can therefore justly be called The Home of Sports in the City of Sports!
Topsportcentrum Rotterdam is currently undergoing extensive expansion and improvement. A new top-level sports hall with an additional 1,000 seats is underway, as well as another recreational sports hall and more cafetaria facilities. On completion, the complex will also have various meeting rooms available for use. The new Topsportcentrum will open its doors mid-October 2010.
