Fixtures
Vitesse
Back to all fixtures and tables
Vitesse play at the GelreDome in southern Arnhem, a covered stadium from 1998 with a retractable roof and a pitch that slides out of the building. Since the 2025/26 season the club has competed in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football. We do not hold standing ticket availability for this division, so tickets and hospitality are arranged on request.

About Vitesse
The GelreDome is the most unusual stadium in the Netherlands. It has a fully closing roof and a grass pitch mounted on a concrete tray that slides out of the building, freeing the floor inside for concerts and events. When it opened in 1998, partly with the 2000 European Championship in mind, that combination existed nowhere else in Europe.
With the roof closed the character of a match changes completely. The sound stays inside, so a reasonably full stand is considerably louder than the capacity suggests. It is one of the few places in the country where the weather has no bearing on how an evening turns out.
Vitesse have been through difficult years financially. Following a licensing procedure and a takeover, the club has played in the second tier since the 2025/26 season. For a visitor that means a different kind of matchday from the Eredivisie: smaller opponents, different kick-off times and a support base carrying the club through a hard period. If you want to see Dutch football away from the three big clubs, in a ground unlike any other in the country, this is a fixture worth knowing about.
The stadium: GelreDome
- Capacity
- 21,248
- Opened
- 1998
- Location
- Arnhem, Netherlands
The GelreDome is on the Batavierenweg in south Arnhem, around four kilometres from the city centre. Buses run towards the ground from Arnhem Centraal station, with extra services on matchdays. Arnhem Centraal is an intercity station with direct connections to Utrecht, Nijmegen and across the German border, which makes the city straightforward to reach from Amsterdam or from Germany. There is generous parking at the ground, unusual for a Dutch stadium.
Hospitality at Vitesse
Vitesse have business lounges and skyboxes inside the GelreDome that are used for guests before and after the match. Because we do not hold standing availability for the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, tickets and hospitality for this club are arranged on request. Tell us which fixture you want to attend and how many of you are travelling, and we will find out what is possible and what it costs.
Practical information for matchday
Arrive an hour before kick-off. Matches in the Dutch second tier are often played on Friday evenings, which differs from the weekend rhythm of the Eredivisie, so check the kick-off time before booking travel. There is catering around the ground and plenty of parking. Beer served inside Dutch stadiums is usually low-alcohol. If you have time in the city, the Netherlands Open Air Museum and Park Sonsbeek lie on the north side of Arnhem.
