TOP 5 STADIUMS IN THE WORLD.

I find it very interesting to research about stadiums from all around the world. I gathered a list of the biggest stadiums from around the globe. This list is only for stadiums used for football(soccer). This stadiums are primarily used for football and are used by National teams and the local football clubs.


1. Wemberly Stadium, England.

Wemberly Stadium, England.

The New Wembley has quickly become the most iconic football stadium in the world. This is largely down to the prestige built by the previous stadium, however the New Wembley is a fantastic stadium in its own right. With a seating capacity of 90,000, it is eclipsed only by the Camp Nou in Barcelona in terms of size.


2. The Allianz Arena Stadium, Germany.

The Allianz Arena Stadium, Germany.

The stunningly beautiful Allianz Arena has been the home of European Champions Bayern Munich, as well as TSV 1860 Munchen since 2005 after they moved there from the Munich Olympic Stadium. Seating just over 70,000 fans, it may only be the third largest stadium in Germany, but nevertheless its magic is not lost.
When it is lit up at night it looks simply stunning, with no better evidence for this than when it played host to the Champions League Final in 2012. Personally, it is my favourite stadium in the world.

3. Old Trafford Stadium, England.
Old Trafford Stadium, England.

Also known as the “Theatre of Dreams”, it is the most iconic stadium in English club football. It has been the home ground of Manchester United since 1910 and now seats over 75,000. As well as being a modern stadium and the centre for all things ‘The Red Devils’, it has become a popular venue for England matches, particularly during the renovations at Wembley.
Getting the chance to play at Old Trafford has long since been the dream of countless young footballers, with only the privileged few being allowed to don the red shirt and take to the grass.

4. Camp Nou Stadium, Spain.
Camp Nou Stadium, Spain.

The Camp Nou is Spain’s largest football stadium and also the home of arguably Europe’s greatest football team, Barcelona. It has been Barcelona’s home ground ever since 1957 and seats over 99,000 fans. It has hosted two Champions League finals and has hundreds of the world’s greatest players grace its surface, most notably Lionel Messi.

5. Azteca Stadium, Mexico.
Azteca Stadium, Mexico.

There are many reasons why this beautiful stadium has made the top 5 of this list, however the primary reason is that it is currently the only stadium in the world to play host to two World Cup finals. It will go down in history amongst English football fans as the location for Maradona’s infamous “hand of God” goal.
