Goffertstadion - NEC Stadium Guide

The highest profile match played at Goffertstadion was undoubtedly the Cup Winners’ Cup match against FC Barcelona on 19th October 1983. Played out in front of a sell-out crowd, NEC narrowly lost 2-3 to their more esteemed Spanish visitors.

N.E.C’s stadium sits within the picturesque environs of Goffert Park approximately 3.8 km south of Nijmegen’s historic centre. The journey by foot will likely take you 40 minutes which is why some prefer to take the train instead.

Car Parks

There are no car parks located within the immediate environs of the Goffert park which means you will likely have to leave your car in the nearby residential area and walk the distance.

Remember to check the signs for parking restrictions!

Goffert Park is served by its own train station known as “Nijmegen Goffert” which is around 10 minutes walk from the stadium. You can catch train services from Nijmegen Centre in the north and Nijmegen Dukenburg in the south making the ground accessible from around the city.

The closest international airport to Nijmegen is technically Eindhoven Airport 71 km away or Dusseldorf 111 km in Germany. Weeze Airport is also another option at 56 km away however it lacks the same number of flights as the aforementioned airports.

With the exception of Sanadome hotel which is a luxury spa resort, the nearest hotel is undoubtedly Bastion Hotel Nijmegen which sit just the other side of Goffert train station.

Back within the centre of Nijmegen there are numerous accommodation options to suit all budgets including Wilhelmina bed and breakfast, Amrâth Hotel Belvoi and Mercure Hotel which is metres from the central train station.
