The Vijf Meihal is a complex located in the Dutch city of Leiden. [1] It is used as a sports arena since 1968. In 2006 it became the home of Zorg en Zekerheid Leiden, a Dutch professional basketball team. Until 2010 the Vijf Meihal had a capacity of 700 people. It was expanded to 2,000 people in 2010. The expansion costed somewhere around 500,000 euros and did allow Zorg en Zekerheid Leiden to play in European competitions.[2]
The Dutch national basketball team played a EuroBasket qualification match in the Vijf Meihal on the 16th of August 2013. The Netherlands played against Portugal and won the match with 71–53.[3] Later it became the main arena of the national team.
