Yanmar Hanasaka Stadion (formerly Mitsubishi Forkliftstadion, Almere City Stadion and Yanmar Stadion) is a multi-purpose stadium in Almere, Netherlands. The stadium primarily hosts association football matches and is the home ground of Almere City FC.[4] The stadium was built in 2005 with a capacity of 3,000 spectators. In January 2020, the club completed a new grandstand, increasing the capacity to 4,501.[5] The grandstand affords covered passages to the main club building, as well as to the new club offices which were completed in spring of 2020.[6]
Once the stadium was used for American football. It is named after Japanese sponsor Yanmar. "Hanasaka" was added to the name in 2026 after the renovations were finished. Hanasaka is a Japanese term for "passing on knowledge, experience, and opportunities to the next generation, so that they can continue to develop and ultimately flourish themselves".[7] In European competitions, the stadium is known as Almere City FC Stadion due to advertising rules.
