Abe Lenstra Stadion (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌaːbə ˈlɛnstraː ˌstaːdijɔn]) is a football stadium, located in Heerenveen, Netherlands.

The stadium is named after Abe Lenstra, generally considered to be the greatest Heerenveen player in the history of the club.

The plan was to build a stadium with open corners, but when the construction was well underway the club decided to close the gaps.

On 20 August 1994 the stadium was officially opened by Prince Willem-Alexander of the Dutch royal family.

Because SC Heerenveen kept growing and the results were getting better every year, the club planned the first expansion of the stadium in 2002.

A successful bid would have meant that the stadium capacity would have been increased to the minimum required seating of 44,000 [2] In December 2010 FIFA announced that the 2018 World Cup would be hosted by Russia.
