19.Allianz Arena (Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich, Germany)

The club had previously played their home games at the Munich Olympic Stadium since 1972. 1860 Munich previously had a 50% share in the stadium, but Bayern Munich purchased their shares for €11 million in April 2006. The arrangement allowed 1860 Munich to play at the stadium while retaining no ownership until 2025. However, in July 2017 the rental contract was terminated, making Bayern Munich the sole tenants of the stadium. It is the second-largest arena in Germany behind Westfalenstadion (Signal Iduna Park) in Dortmund.

It was inaugurated March 6, 1955, and currently has a capacity of 45,600. This stadium offers a very unique atmosphere created by Wydad Casablanca and Raja Casablanca fans.

 

10.Anfield (Liverpool F.C, England)

Wake up early every saturday morning, Eat a good meal, Pick up a LFC scarf, walk or drive to Anfield Rd, enter the stadium and sing You'll never walk alone along with other 45.000 people. That's the average routine of a scouser every weekend (unless you're an Everton fan). Anfield is a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool, England which has a seating capacity of 54,074 making it the sixth largestfootball stadium in England. It has been the home of Liverpool F.C. since their formation in 1892. It was originally the home of Everton F.C. from 1884 to 1891, before they moved to Goodison Park after a dispute with the club president. The stadium has four stands: the Spion Kop, the Main Stand, the Kenny Dalglish Stand and Anfield Road. The record attendance of 61,905, was set at a match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1952. The ground converted to an all-seater stadium in 1994 as a result of the Taylor Report which reduced its capacity.  Two gates at the ground are named after former Liverpool managers: Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. A statue of Shankly is situated outside the stadium. The ground is 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool Lime Street railway station. It was proposed in 2002 to replace the stadium with a new one in the adjacent Stanley Park, but after the acquisition of Liverpool F.C. by Fenway Sports Group in 2010 it was made clear this would not happen. Construction for an extension to the Main Stand began on 8 December 2014.This extension increased the stadium capacity to 54,074, making it one of the largest all-seater single stands in European football. There are future plans to expand the Anfield Road Stand which would bring the stadium size to around 61,000. Liverpool F.C. officially opened the new stand to the public on 9 September 2016. Anfield is famous for its atmosphere especially on european machdays.

 

9.Celtic Park (Celtic, Scootland)

Best atmosphere in the UK if you ask me. Celtic Park is a football stadium in the Parkhead area of Glasgow, and is the home ground of Celtic Football Club. With a capacity of 60,411, it is the largest football stadium in Scotland and the sixth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom. It is commonly known by Celtic fans as either Parkhead or Paradise. Celtic was formed in November 1887 and the first Celtic Park was opened in the Parkhead area in 1888. The club moved to a different site in 1892, however, when the rental charge was greatly increased. The new site was developed into an oval-shaped stadium, with vast terracing sections. The record attendance of 83,500 was set at an Old Firm derby on 1 January 1938. The terraces were covered and floodlights were installed between 1957 and 1971. The Taylor Report mandated that all major clubs should have an all-seated stadium by August 1994. Celtic was in a poor financial position in the early 1990s and no major work was carried out until Fergus McCann took control of the club in March 1994. He carried out a plan to demolish the old terraces and develop a new stadium in a phased rebuild, which was completed in August 1998. Celtic Park was an oval stadium, but has been converted to a rectangular stadium. It is intended to create an enclosed and intimidating atmosphere for big games. The ground is split into four geographic sections, officially known as the North, Jock Stein (West), Lisbon Lions (East) and Main (South) Stands. The North, East and West stands form a continuous two tier loop. The two end stands each have a capacity of 13,000, while the North Stand holds 27,000. The Main Stand holds just under 8,000, giving a total capacity of 60,411. It received 60% of the votes when BBC Radio Five Live conducted a poll in 2002 to find the favourite sports venue in the United Kingdom. In September 2011, Celtic started a feasibility study into creating a safe standing section in Celtic Park. Although there is a law in England preventing top-flight clubs from having standing sections, no such law exists in Scotland. In June 2015, Celtic received safety approval for a proposal to install rail seating.  A section of 2,975 rail seats was installed in the Lisbon Lions Stand during the 2016 close season. Celtic Park has been a home venue for the Scotland national football team over 20 times, the most of any ground apart from the national stadium, Hampden Park.Scotland secured qualification for the 1998 FIFA World Cup with a 2–0 win against Latvia at Celtic Park having beaten Austria there by the same scoreline earlier in the qualifying process, and in 2006 achieved a 6–0 scoreline against the Faroe Islands at the stadium after Hampden was double-booked with a Robbie Williams concert.

 

8. Azteca Stadium (Club America, Cruz Azul, Mexico national football team, Mexico)

Azteca Stadium is one of those places you cannot describe with words. You literally need to visit it to understand why it's so special. Regarded as one of the most famous and iconic football stadiums in the world, it is the first to have hosted two FIFA World Cup Finals. In the 1970 World Cup Final, Brazil defeated Italy 4–1, and in the 1986 World Cup Final, Argentina defeated West Germany 3–2. It also hosted the 1986 quarter-final match between Argentina and England in which Diego Maradona scored both the "Hand of God goal" and the "Goal of the Century". The stadium also hosted the "Game of the Century", when Italy defeated West Germany 4–3 in extra time in one of the 1970 semifinal matches. The stadium will also be a venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which Mexico will co-host with Canada and the United States. The stadium was also the principal venue for the football tournament of the 1968 Summer Olympics. With an official capacity of 87,000, it is the largest stadium in Mexico. The stadium sits at an altitude of 7,200 feet (2195 meters) above sea level.

 

7.Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta United FC, USA)

I mean look at it, JUST LOOK AT IT!!! It is so gorgeous it can make scarlett johanson look like Maude Eccles (No offence Scarlett I still love ya 😘) The stadium is owned by the state of Georgia through the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, and operated by AMB Group, the parent organization of the Falcons and Atlanta United. The total cost was estimated at $1.6 billion, as of June 2016. The stadium officially opened on August 26, 2017 with a Falcons preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals (american football), despite the retractable roof system being incomplete at the time. 

 

6.Vodafone Park (Besiktas J.K., Turkey)

One of the loudest atmospheres (if not the loudest) in the world. The stadium is modern and beautiful plus it's located next to the sea. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM A STADIUM?

The stadium was built on the site of Beşiktaş's former home, BJK İnönü Stadium. It has a capacity of approximately 41,188 spectators.

 

5.Toumba Stadium (PAOK F.C, Greece)

Build in 1959, yet it's by far the best stadium in Greece because of its amazing atmosphere and its history.

The stadium is located in the district of Toumba in eastern Thessaloniki. Its original capacity was 45,000 until the installation of seating on all stands in 1998, which reduced the capacity to 32,000 (seated). The introduction of security zones in 2000 further reduced the capacity to the current capacity of 28,703 seats. A record attendance of 45,252 has been recorded in a 1st division football match between PAOK and AEK on 19 December 1976. The stadium's official name is simply "PAOK Stadium", however it is commonly referred to as "Toumba" after the district where is located.

The stadium has hosted several games of the Greece national football team. The stadium was selected as one of the training venues for the football tournaments of the 2004 Olympic Games, and due to this it was heavily upgraded.  After the advent of the new major shareholder Ivan Savvidis in 2012, a gradual renovation began. Big changes began in 2012–13, but most of the changes were made in 2014–15 for the European obligations of PAOK in the UEFA Europa League, starting from the central part of the stadium. A presidential suite was created and a gradual renovation for the media theories for convenience and functionality in the building of the third floor. In early September 2015, the turf was changed. Toumba's atmosphere is, as I mentioned brilliant just BRILLIANT. That's the reason Olympiacos Piraeus had a beautiful 23 year winless run in Toumba . YES. 23 YEARS (1969-1992)! Even Maradona was impressed-terrified by the atmosphere back in 1988!

 

4.  Estadio Pedro Bidegain (San Lorenzo, Argentina)

The atmosphere in Argentina is probably the best in the world. Teams Such as San Lorenzo Prove that point

San Lorenzo's atmosphere is beautiful. So loud yet so melodic🤗. If you really consider yourself a Football lover you must visit San Lorenzo's Stadium in Buenos Aires. PERIOD

 

3. El Monumental (River Plate, Argentina)

Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti aka El Monumental is a stadium in the Belgrano district of Buenos Aires, Argentina (although popular belief wrongly states that the stadium is in the Núñez district), home of the football club River Plate. It was opened on 25 May 1938 and named after former club president Antonio Vespucio Liberti. It is the largest stadium in Argentina with a capacity of 62,000 and is also home of the Argentina national football team. It was the main venue in the 1951 Pan American Games. It hosted the 1978 FIFA World Cup Final between Argentina and the Netherlands. Additionally, it hosted four finals of the Copa América, most recently in 2011. Just like all other Argentinian fans, River plate atmosphere is nuts. N-U-T-S!!

 

2.Maracana (Brazil National Football team, Brazil)

Probably the most historic Football stadium ever. Today unfortunately, Maracana is closed☹️. But not forever. It will reopen once again soon.  

The stadium was opened in 1950 to host the FIFA World Cup, in which Brazil was beaten 2–1 by Uruguay in the deciding game, in front of 199,854 spectators on 16 July 1950. The venue has seen attendances of 150,000 or more at 26 occasions, the last being on 29 May 1983, as 155,253 spectators watched Flamengo beat Santos 3-0. The stadium has seen have crowds of more than 100,000 284 times. But as terraced sections have been replaced with seats over time, and after the more or less total renovation for the FIFA World Cup 2014, its original capacity has been reduced to the current 78,838. The stadium is mainly used for football matches between the major football clubs in Rio de Janeiro, including Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafogo and Vasco da Gama. It has also hosted a number of concerts and other sporting events. The total attendance at the last (and indeed decisive game, but not a final) game of the 1950 FIFA World Cup was 199,854, making it the world's largest stadium by capacity when it was inaugurated. After its 2010–13 renovation, the rebuilt stadium currently seats 78,838 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Brazil and the second in South America after Estadio Monumental in Peru. It was the main venue of the 2007 Pan American Games, hosting the football tournament and the opening and closing ceremonies. The Maracanã was partially rebuilt in preparation for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the 2014 World Cup, for which it hosted several matches, including the final. It also served as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, with the main track and field events taking place at the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange.  Since the World Cup in 1950, Maracanã Stadium has mainly been used for club games involving four major football clubs in Rio— Vasco, Botafogo, Flamengo and Fluminense. The stadium has also hosted numerous domestic football cup finals, most notably the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca. On 21 March 1954, a new official attendance record was set in the game between Brazil and Paraguay, after 183,513 spectators entered the stadium with a ticket and 194,603 (177,656 p.) in Fla-Flu (1963). In 1963, stadium authorities replaced the square goal posts with round ones, but it was still two years before the stadium would be fully completed. In 1965, 17 years after construction began, the stadium was finally finished. In September 1966, upon the death of Mário Rodrigues Filho, the Brazilian journalist, columnist, sports figure, and prominent campaigner who was largely responsible for the stadium originally being built, the administrators of the stadium renamed the stadium after him: Estádio Jornalista Mário Rodrigues Filho. However, the nickname of Maracanã has continued to be used as the common referent. In 1969, Pelé scored the 1,000th goal of his career at Maracanã, against CR Vasco da Gama in front of 65,157 spectators.

In 1989 the stadium hosted the games of the final round of the Copa America; in the same year, Zico scored his final goal for Flamengo at the Maracanã, taking his goal tally at the stadium to 333, a record that still stood as of 2011. An upper stand in the stadium collapsed on 19 July 1992, in the second game of the finals of 1992 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, between Botafogo and Flamengo, leading to the death of three spectators and injuring 50 others. Following the disaster, the stadium's capacity was greatly reduced as it was converted to an all-seater stadium in the late 1990s. Despite this, the ground was classified as a national landmark in 1998, meaning that it could not be demolished. The stadium hosted the first ever FIFA Club World Cup final match between CR Vasco da Gama and Corinthians Paulista, which Corinthians won on penalties.

I agree 'bout the ambience part. Atmosphere is f'ing dreadful at camp nou. But views are great IMHO!

I like the stadium mainly because of its history. It has a special feeling, a football feeling despite the fact that it's outaded and that the atmosphere sucks.

[ArrestedDuringHaircut 1,242]

Şükrü Saracoglu Stadium (Fenerbahce) was a killer one back in days when it had full attendance.Because of the club's awful management,attendance was low throughout last 2 seasons.But I believe,we will get the same tension soon as a new direction took over recently

These two examples;

 

 

 

It's like a south american stadium with european design.Look at the euphoria!! And I strongly recommend to experience it live if you get chance.As the team participate(hopefully) in CL this year,it'll be great again.

Depends on where you sit. If you sit where the Away fans sit, the views are horrible. The stadium is outdated, the name sucks (Camp Nou means: New Stadium) and the fans suck. 50% of the fans are tourists with their phones and cameras. No ultras no ambiance whatsoever... Even a small team from Barcelona like Sant Andreu that plays in Third Division has more ambiance. 

[Tchuck 3,326]

And no mention of Morumbi either, which arguably has one of the best atmospheres among Brazilian stadiums:

 

 

[Laker23 4,844]

Surprised there's no Old Trafford, easily one of the most famous stadiums in the world.

 

Is it because it sounds like a funeral in there for most games? 😅

Merhaba neighbour! I have experienced Fener's stadium once when fener was playing vs my team, PAOK back in 2010.

Atmosphere was good but, 2500 PAOK fans outsung 50000 fener fans (Dont hate, just my opinion). All Ferner fans did was chanting Istanbul and screaming "swim gayreek swim" 

Dunno 'bout other matches, I watched some fener ultras videos and I thoyght they were good, but not amazing. IMO Besiktas fans are the best in Turkey, followed by Fener 🙂

γεια neighbour.It's amazing that you visited us already ,I'm honoured.The sad decline of the team started in these days.You knocked us out,we faced a serious match fixing case which was totally unfair in my eyes and got 3 years ban.That hurt a lot.After president of club was released by the court,he added another big level of drop with his dictating role.We only succeeded to win the championship once in the last 7 years,you must know how it feels(lol no offense).But a new direction took over,I have high hopes.

And when it comes to greek supporters vs turkish supporters, it's spectacular you know.Not to claim we are the best but we have the potential to be the best.The stadium manages the game itself,there is a solid spirit in there,like you have in your stadiums as well.This part of europe has the most latino stadiums with european design.But bigger matches definitely make difference.That huge atmosphere comes in bigger stages like champions league groups or europa league quarters.

I admit BJK fans are more consistent than us,that's why they are reputated most .And they are great too.Their stadium rocks as well (lots of pros they have) .

 

Long story short, thanks for the comment.Stay ultra,love from Turkey.I think I'm gonna watch the match against ManU last year at home,bad football but good score  😎

Amazing post OP

 

I think not including smaller and super tight to the pitch grounds like my teams Selhurst Park (27,000) it’s missing something...it’s known by many fans as the best atmosphere in the Premiership and the antidote to football tourism.

[TheSantader25 6,986]

Camp nou is either like a ghost town or an absolute hell. Nothing in between. In important intense matches it's absolutely amazing. The main thing about the stadium is the enormous size which really makes it menacing without a roof in intense matches. 

Edited February 24, 2019 by TheSantader25

[Crokey 10,449]

Surprised I never saw this topic before.

 

One stadium I'd love to visit and it's only a 3,400 capacity stadium as well, so it's tiny compared to the some of the beasts above, is the Pancho Arena, near Budapest, Hungary.

 

I mean look at this beautiful looking thing:

 

 

It's like a Cathedral of football.  And with it lit up...

I know it's been over a year since you've posted this, but whatever.

 

You are right about the atmosphere, for the most part.

I've been there 7-8 times, both for big games and for unimportant matches against the likes of QPR. But, I've always been in the upper part of the Stretford End, and it has always been amazing.

 

But that might have changed, haven't been since Fergie's last homegame.
