About the Johan Cruijff ArenA

The Johan Cruijff ArenA is one of the most famous event locations in the Netherlands.

The formerly named Amsterdam ArenA honors its name to former Ajax player Johan Cruijff. Famous for his talent and sayings like: "Every disadvantage has its advantage."

The Toppers also take over the stadium annually for their Toppers in concert shows. This spectacular show by singers Jan Smit, Jeroen van der Boom, René Froger, and Gerard Joling is one you wouldn't want to miss for anything.
