Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA (Asb) is a railway station in the Bijlmermeer neighbourhood of the Amsterdam Zuidoost stadsdeel (borough) of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The station has five platforms and eight tracks; two for the Amsterdam Metro and six train tracks, along with a bus station.

Originally opened on May 24, 1971, the station has been rebuilt twice. In July 2007, a large part of the rebuilding was completed and on November 17, 2007 the station was fully opened. The new station was designed by Grimshaw Architects of London in association with Arcadis Architecten. The station arches over the ArenA Boulevard. The complex is almost 100 metres (330 ft) long, 70 m (230 ft) wide, and 30 m (98 ft) tall. It is mostly transparent, to blend in with the rest of the Boulevard The metro lines that stop at this station are Metroline 54 (Amsterdam Centraal - Gein) and Metroline 50 (Isolatorweg - Gein). On December 10, 2006 the station's name was changed from Amsterdam Bijlmer to Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA, to match its location (ArenA Boulevard), named after the nearby Amsterdam ArenA stadium, home of AFC Ajax. On the west side is Heineken Music Hall and Pathé ArenA cinema with 14 screens. On the east side is Amsterdamse Poort, the largest shopping centre in Amsterdam.-Wikipedia
