TheStadion Krommedijk (known as theMatchoholic Stadion for sponsorship reasons)[2] is a multi-purpose all-seaterstadium inDordrecht,South Holland, Netherlands. It is currently mostly used forfootball matches and is the home stadium ofFC Dordrecht. The stadium is able to hold 4,100 spectators, and was built in 1948. Formerly the stadium has been known asDe Krommedijk[dəˈkrɔmədɛik],GN Bouw Stadion, andRiwal Hoogwerkers Stadion.
The stadium inDordrecht was inaugurated in 1948 asStadion Krommedijk and the business club of the stadium, which was formerly the clubhouse, was constructed in 1958.[3] Since then,FC Dordrecht – at that time still called D.F.C. – has played in the facility. The rest of the stands followed some years after. In 1983 and 1986, the club won promotion to theEredivisie. A new stand withterracing was built for the first promotion. Three years later, the stadium was renovated for the top division and a new seating area was built. At that time, the club also became the owner of the stadium.[1]
In 1998, the complete renovation of the stadium was completed. The old stands were demolished and rebuilt. The stadium in Dordrecht opened on 25 September 1998 after three years of planning and construction, and was namedGN Bouw Stadion after the Dutch construction company GN Bouw. Before the renovation, the stadium held 9,000 spectators. Today, the stadium offers a capacity of 4,100 seats.[1]
In 2006, FC Dordrecht indicated two possible locations for a new stadium. One along theA16 motorway combined with aVan der Valk hotel, the other near theMerwede Bridge. In the end, neither location became the location for the new stadium, and the location of the greenhouse complex on the provincial road became the possible location. In those plans, the old stadium would have to make way for housing.[4][5]
In May 2014, the renaming of the stadium was announced. The companyRiwal Hoogwerkers BV, who rent and sell lifts, became the main sponsor.[6]
