NAC Breda is set to start renovating the tribunes at the Rat Verlegh Stadion next month. This is necessary because an inspection revealed that the so-called oplegnokken under the tribunes need to be replaced.

What's happening?

The municipality of Breda owns the stadium, but NAC Breda has to pay for the renovation through a rent increase. The construction and renovation work will cost 1.5 million euros.

Why is this important for NAC Breda?

The club is under pressure, with a rent increase for the stadium that opened in 1996. NAC Breda fans are experiencing disruption due to the work as the team returns to the Eredivisie.

What's next?

NAC Breda will carry out the renovation work in phases, to minimize disruption to fans. Temporary stands will be installed in the stadium, so the capacity for spectators remains the same.

The current situation is as follows: | Competition | Stand | | --- | --- | | Eredivisie | 17th, 29 points, 6W-11D-17L | | Goals | 35 scored, 58 conceded (-23 goal difference) | | Title race | 55 points behind PSV Eindhoven | | Last result | AZ Alkmaar 3-3 NAC Breda (2026-05-17) | | Recent form | 2W-2D-1L (DDWWL, most recent first)
