Stadium or Home
The AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne is a football stadium in Mechelen, Belgium. It is used for football matches and is the home ground of KV Mechelen. The stadium holds 13,213. The stadium is called Achter de Kazerne, which means the same as "Behind the Army Barracks". It is called this way because one time the stadium was located behind an army base. Years have gone by and the army base has disappeared but over time people kept calling it Achter de Kazerne.
In the past it was called Scarletstadion (2003-2006) due to sponsorship of Scarlet. It was the first commercialized stadium-name use in Belgium. After this, Veolia took over the deal (2006-2009) followed by Argos Oil until may 2015. AFAS Software started with a sponsorship deal and is currently the name-holder of Achter de Kazerne. Currently the ground is being renovated to reach a capacity of over 18,500.
AZ, a team from Alkmaar, Netherlands, also plays is an AFAS-sponsored stadium. See AFAS Stadion.
