Personal connection to Amsterdam Zuidoost

Farewell to Han Mouton
Lennaert Kapiteijn succeeds Han Mouton, who will retire after almost thirty years with the Johan Cruijff ArenA. During that time, his financial expertise, commitment and dedication have made an important contribution to the development of both the stadium and the organisation.
Tanja Dik: “Han Mouton has made an exceptional contribution to the development of the ArenA. With his financial expertise, commitment and dedication, he has helped lay the foundations for where we are today. We are extremely grateful to him for everything he has meant to the ArenA over all these years. It is particularly valuable that Han Mouton will remain involved in the coming period to ensure a careful handover.”
