history
Until August 1996, NAC Breda played its home games in the NAC Stadium on Beatrixstraat. On August 11, 1996, the then 29 million guilders expensive Fujifilm Stadium was opened. A friendly match between NAC Breda and SC Internacional from Porto Alegre , Brazil , the eventual winner of the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup , took place during the opening celebrations . The first official game took place on August 16, 1996 between NAC and FC Dordrecht , in which Stanley MacDonald scored the first goal at the Fujifilm Stadium. In addition to cup and championship games as well as friendly games, an international match between Turkey and Ecuador took place in the stadium on February 12, 2002 . Furthermore, NAC Breda played in the UEFA Intertoto Cup against ES Troyes AC and in the UEFA Cup against Newcastle United .
On October 29, 2019, the name of the venue was changed for a game at Stanisław Maczek Stadium .

NAC Breda met in the first round of the Cup to the FC Emmen (3: 2).
