Almere is a new city in the province of Flevoland, with around 170,000 inhabitants. The capital of Flevoland is known for its beautiful and modern architecture and its expansiveness. In the future, the green city of Almere will expand to house 300,000 inhabitants, distributed among the various districts, including Almere-Buiten, where the European Championship will take place. The city is located in South Flevoland, a polder created through reclamation of the IJsselmeer Lake, previously the Zuiderzee. The landscape of Flevoland is largely manmade. The Lage Vaart, like the Hoge Vaart, which is also well known, is a canal that crosses the province of Flevoland to ensure good drainage of the IJsselmeer. This will be the first time the European Championship has been held below sea level. To the north-east of Almere is a large nature area called the Oostvaardersplassen, a paradise for birds with vast lakes and pristine wetlands. Red deer, Konik horses and Heck cattle graze on the wild grasslands.
