The complex has belonged to the Dutch Hockey Association ("Koninklijke Nederlandse Hockey Bond") since 1980.

Its location is the Amsterdamse Bos in Amstelveen. It was built by the Amsterdam Hockey & Bandy Club to honour its president, Joop Wagener [nl] (1881–1945).[1] The building was completed in 1938, one year before World War II came to Netherlands.

During the 1970s it became clear that AHBC could no longer afford the stadium, which was eventually sold to the Koninklijke Nederlandse Hockey Bond. AHBC still has the first right to play in the stadium.[2]

In the past, the stadium has hosted the following major tournaments:

• Hockey World Cup in 1973, 2022
• EuroHockey Nations Championship in 1983, 2009, 2017[1]
• Champions Trophy in 1982, 1987, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2011[1]
