The '''Amsterdam Admirals''' were a professional [[American football]] team based in [[Amsterdam]], [[Netherlands]], playing in the [[NFL Europe]].
 
==History==
The '''Amsterdam Admirals''' is an [[NFL Europa]] team based in [[Amsterdam]], [[Netherlands]].
[[File:Amsterdam Arena.jpg|thumb|left|Following its completion in 1996, the Admirals moved into the [[Johan Cruyff Arena|Amsterdam ArenA]] ''(2000 image)'' in time for the [[1997 WLAF season]].]]
The Admirals were formed in 1995 as part of the NFL's plan to restart the [[World League of American Football]], to be based entirely in [[Europe]]. The Admirals were one of three [[expansion team|new teams]], the others being the [[Scottish Claymores]] based in [[Edinburgh]] and the [[Rhein Fire (NFL Europe)|Rhein Fire]] based in [[Düsseldorf]], [[Germany]], to join the old [[World League of American Football|World League's]] European Division teams: the [[Barcelona Dragons (NFL Europe)|Barcelona Dragons]], the [[Frankfurt Galaxy (NFL Europe)|Frankfurt Galaxy]], and the [[London Monarchs]].
 
The Admirals began playing their home games at the old [[Olympisch Stadion (Amsterdam)|Olympisch Stadion]], built in 1928 for the [[1928 Summer Olympics|Summer Games]]. They played there for two years until the [[Amsterdam ArenA]] was completed in 1996. When the Admirals were forced to schedule their last home game of the [[2000 Amsterdam Admirals season|2000 season]] against the Claymores away from the ArenA as [[UEFA Euro 2000|Euro 2000]] preparations were finalized, they made a return to the Olympisch Stadion in what turned out to be one of the most unusual games in American football history. The [[end zone]] at the north end of the stadium was ruled unsafe by the officials as the surface was in poor condition, so it was decided that the teams would change ends at every change of possession and play towards the other end zone.
The Admirals were formed in 1995 as part of the NFL's plan to restart the [[World League of American Football]], to be based entirely in [[Europe]]. The Admirals were one of three new teams, the others being the [[Scottish Claymores]] based in [[Edinburgh]] and the [[Rhein Fire]] based in [[Düsseldorf]] [[Germany]], to join the old [[World League]]'s European Division teams: the [[Barcelona Dragons]], the [[Frankfurt Galaxy]], and the [[London Monarchs]].
 
They qualified for the [[World Bowl '95|1995 World Bowl]] with a 9–1 regular season record, but lost to the Frankfurt Galaxy by a score of 26–22. Ten years later, in their eleventh year of existence, the Admirals won their first [[World Bowl]] by defeating the defending champion [[Berlin Thunder (NFL Europe)|Berlin Thunder]] 27–21 in the championship game's 13th edition. The next season, they failed to defend their title against the Frankfurt Galaxy 22–7 in [[World Bowl XIV]].
The Amsterdam Admirals began playing their home games at the old [[Olympisch Stadion]], built in 1928 for the Summer Games. They played there for two years until the [[Amsterdam ArenA]] was completed in 1996.
 
Under the "Player Continuity Program", the Admirals contracted [[linebacker]] Derrick Ballard and [[running back]] [[Jonathan McKenzi Smith|Jonathan Smith]] for the [[2007 Amsterdam Admirals season|2007 season]].
As of the 2006 season, the Admirals are the only NFL Europa team not located in [[Germany]]. The Admirals qualified for the 1995 World Bowl with a 9-1 regular season record, but lost to the Frankfurt Galaxy by a score of 26-22. Ten years later, on their 11th Year of existence, the Admirals won their first World Bowl by defeating the defending champion [[Berlin Thunder]] 27-21 in the championship game's 13th edition. The next season, they failed to defend their title against the [[Frankfurt Galaxy]] 22-7 in [[World Bowl XIV]].
 
==Season-by-season==
Under the Player Continuity Program the Admirals have contracted [[Linebacker|LB]] [[Derrick Ballard]] and [[Running Back|RB]] [[Jonathan McKenzie Smith|Jonathan Smith]] for the 2007 season.
[[File:Exterieur OVERZICHT GEDEELTE VAN DE TRIBUNE - Amsterdam - 20301845 - RCE.jpg|thumb|upright|The Admirals' first home ground was the [[Olympic Stadium (Amsterdam)|Olympic Stadium]] ''(1995 image)'', built for the [[Summer Olympic Games]] of [[1928 Summer Olympics|1928]]. [[World Bowl '95]]–between Amsterdam Admirals and [[Frankfurt Galaxy (NFL Europe)|Frankfurt Galaxy]]–was also held there.]]
