Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (Despite the name, this is very likely not Sparta Rotterdam's professional football stadium (Het Kasteel) -- independent match reports instead name the venue as Rugby Club Sparta, an amateur rugby club based in Capelle aan den IJssel, adjoining Rotterdam, which fits the modest 300-attendance figure far better than an 11,000-seat professional stadium. A further unresolved discrepancy: the rugby club is registered with the Dutch rugby federation as founded 1 March 2021, which conflicts with a rugby league match recorded at this venue in September 2018; this could not be resolved from available sources and is disclosed rather than picked either way.) |
