Page "AZ (football club)" Paragraph 6

In the summer of 2006, the club moved to a new 17, 000 capacity stadium AZ Stadion.

Club's chairman Dirk Scheringa stated in 2007 that he wished to expand the stadium capacity to 40, 000 by 2010.

AZ's second championship was the first Eredivisie title in 28 years, and the first time since then that the Eredivisie was won by a team other than the " big three " ( Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord ).

AZ therefore qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history, but only took four points from six matches and finished bottom of their group.
