Stadion Zuiderpark, The Hague = 's-Gravenhage / Den Haag Zuiderpark (formerly HVV ADO = Alles Door Oefening / HSV ADO / FC Den Haag / ADO Den Haag)
Netherlands, province: South Holland = Zuid-Holland
April 2010 (& March 2019) / no match visited
Note 1: HVV ADO (later renamed HSV ADO), founded in 1905, played at Stadion Zuiderpark from October 1925 onwards. In 1954, the club joined the newly formed Netherlands' nationwide professional league. In 1971, ADO merged with Holland Sport, becoming FC Den Haag. A new merger was concluded in 1996, this time between FC Den Haag and their non-league satellites HSV ADO - resulting in ADO Den Haag being formed. Finally, in 2007, ADO Den Haag left Zuiderpark for their new Forepark Stadion in 2007. Shortly thereafter, three of the four stands of the old ground were knocked down; the last of the four constructions around the pitch, the main stand, followed suit in January 2014. Meanwhile, the location of the former stadium is occupied by the so-called Sportcampus Zuiderpark, more specifically a huge sports hall (cp. picture 12, below). Though the days of the old stadium are over and done with, ADO Den Haag is still physically present at Zuiderpark, where their youth academy (Sportpark De Aftrap) has found a home at the stadium's former side pitches.
