ADO Den Haag's new training complex, a place in the Escamp district where memories and the future come together.
In the Escamp district, you will find the training grounds of ADO Den Haag. After many years, the club is training again at its old location: the Zuiderpark. With the new training complex, ADO Den Haag once again has a permanent place at the location where generations of The Hague residents grew up with their club. It is a place where the first team trains, where supporters are welcome, and where the connection between the club and the city becomes visible again.
The new training complex shows how sport can contribute to pride and connectedness in the city. For Alberto van der Spiegel is that precisely why this return is so important. He sees the Zuiderpark as the heart of The Hague, a place from which the entire city benefits.

Back to where it began
For assistant coach Levi Schwiebbe The return to the Zuiderpark is more than just a new training location. He himself started here in the ADO Den Haag youth academy when he was six years old. He trained on the same pitches where the first team was active and dreamed of one day reaching that level himself.
Those personal memories make the return extra special for him and show how much meaning this place has for everyone who grew up with ADO Den Haag.
Close to the city again
With the return to the Zuiderpark, ADO Den Haag is once again more accessible to local residents. Just like in the past, supporters and local residents can easily drop by the training sessions on foot or by bike.
According to Levi, this brings back something that has been missing for years. It reduces the distance between the club and the city and gives residents the chance to be closely involved with ADO Den Haag once again.
A place full of memories
For many residents of The Hague, therefore, the Zuiderpark is more than a sports complex. It is a place where memories have been made, where generations of supporters gathered, and where the history of the club lies.
That is precisely why the return feels like a new chapter building on the past. The new training complex connects nostalgia with the future of ADO Den Haag.
Proud of the return
Within Nieuw70, ADO Den Haag's new training complex is an example of how a place can regain meaning for an entire city. The initiative brings together sport, history, and the neighborhood at a location that feels like home to many residents of The Hague. Alberto en Levi are visibly proud of it.
