5 Best Football Stadiums of the World

The five top football stadiums in the world with their locations are listed below.

Because of the widespread love of football all around the world, the need for greater and larger stadiums has always led to some classic facilities, some of which have become the finest stadiums in the world. Read on to know these spectacular stadiums are.

Wembley, England

Without a doubt, the most instantly recognizable football stadium in the world is Wembley Stadium. (90,000 capacity)

The facility of the former 1923 Wembley Stadium was devised and reopened as the new Wembley in 2007. The new design has considered all that was great about the initial stadium and has further augmented that reputation as having one of the most exhilarating environments in all of football.

Even though the mythic Twin Towers are no longer standing, the Wembley Arch has taken their place.

Camp Nou, Spain

One of the best football teams plays at Camp Nou, which has a capacity of 98,757 and is the biggest football stadium in Europe. Barcelona’s home ground is a huge part of everything the club stands for, and their motto, "mes que un club" (more than a club) is widely recognized in the football world.

Camp Nou once held over 120,000 spectators for the 1982 World Cup finals, but it is now smaller because of changes in the laws governing standing in stadiums.

Allianz Arena, Germany

Both football teams with Munich as their home city, Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich play at the amazing architectural Allianz Arena. The only stadium in all of Europe that can switch between red and blue to portray Bayern and 1860 Munich, respectively, based on which teams are playing.

Because of the fans’ proximity to the pitch, which was a concern at the Olympiastadion’s previous site because it had a running track around the pitch, the stadium has been a major hit with both sets of fans.

Estadio Azteca, Mexico

The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is well known for its enormous capacity (104,000) and thrilling atmosphere when full, but it will be remembered as the only stadium to accommodate two World Cup finals.

Regrettably, for England supporters, it was here that Diego Maradona scored his infamous "Hand of God" goal. That’s why the huge England fans may not have lovely memories of the venue.

Maracanã, Brazil

One of the most famous football stadiums in the world, the Maracanã is known for being the most gorgeous city on earth.

The stadium, which had a mind-boggling capacity of 199,854, hosted the decisive World Cup group-stage match between Brazil and Uruguay in 1950. Even though the hosts suffered a heartbreaking loss, the game will be noted as one of the all-time greats.
