Fanny Blankers-Koen Stadion (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfɑni ˈblɑŋkərs ˈkun ˌstaːdijɔn]) is a multi-use stadium in Hengelo, Netherlands. It is currently used mostly for athletics meets, especially the annual Fanny Blankers-Koen Games, and also was the venue for the European Athletics Junior Championships in July 2007. It holds more than 8,000 people and is named after the Dutch athlete Fanny Blankers-Koen.
