NEC Nijmegan 0 Tottenham Hotspur 1 - UEFA Cup, Group Stage
Nijmegen is a municipality and a city in the east of the Netherlands, near the German border. It is
considered to be the oldest city in the Netherlands and celebrated its 2000th year of existence in
2005. The first mention of Nijmegen in history is in the 1st century BC, when the Romans built a
military camp on the place where Nijmegen was to appear; the location had great strategic value
because of the surrounding hills, which gave (and continue to give) a good view over the Waal and
Rhine valley.
