Sports Complex De Duin

In the sports zone in Opglabbeek, the new multifunctional sports complex De Duin was built.

On Saturday, February 1, 2025, Sportcomplex De Duin officially opened its doors in Opglabbeek (Oudsbergen). With a surface area of no less than 8,250 m² and an investment of 14 million euros, this ultra-modern complex marks a new milestone for sports in Limburg. More than 100 sports clubs can use the facility for training, competitions, and recreation.
