10 BEST STADIUMS IN THE WORLD

10 BEST STADIUMS IN THE WORLD

Wembley Stadium

The new, reconstructed and completely safe Wembley rightfully begins the list of the TOP 10 best stadiums in the world. The field, where the finals of all significant European tournaments are held and which is considered the home arena of the England national football team, constantly attracts the attention of not only fans of the most popular game in the world, but also tourists who are interested in the main attractions of the capital of Foggy Albion. The indescribable atmosphere of triumph and eternal celebration is adjacent to the exact, calculated and stiff, characteristic of the indigenous people of the United Kingdom. A budget of nearly £ 800 million (!) Allowed a five-star stadium to be classified as elite by UEFA in London.

Camp Nou Stadium

You can find out what passion, excitement and devotion to your favorite team is at the main stadium of the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona Camp Nou. It is on this huge field that the most beautiful, most technical and, one might even say, academic football is the strongest club in the world, Barcelona. Camp Nou from the Catalan dialect is literally translated into Russian as a new field. The field here is really new and, perhaps, one of the best in Europe. 99 360 (!) Fans can watch the game of the Catalan club in the stands at the same time, with most of them singing during the match. Camp Nou does not cease even for a minute: the Barcelona anthem drives the best players of our planet forward. The home arena of the Catalan club, despite its enormous size, is completely safe for spectators and players.

Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

The stadium, named after the “creamy” player, who devoted his entire life to his beloved team, is the “faceted diamond” of the Spanish capital Madrid. In addition to the fact that this arena, which accommodates almost 85,500 fans, is considered home for the Royal Club “Real”, it regularly holds its matches, the strongest Spanish team in the world at the moment. This sports facility, included in the list of the ten best stadiums on our planet, has witnessed triumphs and bitter disappointments. All these emotions create the unique aura that surrounds the Santiago Bernabéu. The match of “Real” with any team in this stadium turns into a grand show, which is followed by the “most seasoned” fans of Spain. Here you can rarely hear shouts and whistles: all the tension seems to hang over the field, especially

Old Trafford Stadium

Is it possible to visit the real theater of dreams? Of course you can. This will be said by any football fan or ordinary tourist who was lucky enough to visit the legendary Manchester United home field - Old Trafford. Despite the fact that this arena cannot be called huge, it is one of the top 10 stadiums in the world and has an “elite category” and “five stars” rated by UEFA. Built in 1909, the “Dream Theater” often experienced ups and downs, once it was even bombarded by fascist aircraft. However, all these horrors and setbacks are a thing of the past: today Manchester United plays one of the best teams in the United Kingdom and the whole world. A museum, a restaurant, the legendary “spy hill”, the tribune of Sir Alex Ferguson - all this is “Old Trafford” in Manchester.

Anfield Stadium

The home field of the English team “Liverpool”, commissioned back in 1884, always terrified its rivals. No, there is nothing wrong with Anfield Road. On the contrary, the facade of the stadium, its lawn and stands are considered one of the best in the Old World. The thing is that it is always difficult for any opponent of the formidable Liverpool to play at Anfield.

“Houses and walls help!”, This proverb, can describe the Liverpool Stadium, which is not very large (only 45 360 people), but which is highly rated by UEFA, which assigned it the category “4”. Why is the most popular team in the world winning most home meetings? This is the main mystery of Anfield. Perhaps the thing is that this is one of the oldest stadiums in the United Kingdom?

Maracana Stadium

At the moment, the once-largest stadium on the planet, which housed 200,000 (!) Fans with its famous "zheral", is under reconstruction. Already in 2014, “Maracana” will have to be reborn and host the final matches of the World Cup. By the way, it was at this Brazilian stadium that the first, after the worst World War II, championship was held among the strongest national teams. Riots and stampede forced FIFA to decide that in the largest football arenas, all seats should be seated. For this reason, a grand reconstruction was launched at Maracan. The work is not yet completed, and what will be the Brazilian stadium after the completion of all work is still unknown. However, it is among the top 10 stadiums in the world. After all, “Maracana” is a legend, and legends, as you know, never die.

Luzhniki Stadium

The Moscow Luzhniki Stadium, located in the Khamovniki district, is often referred to in print media as the “labor feat of the Soviet people.” These are not grandiloquent epithets: a huge sports complex was designed and built in just ... in one year! Naturally, since 1956 it was repeatedly reconstructed in accordance with the requirements of UEFA. Now, at Luzhniki stadium, the game of the Russian national team can be watched by the teams of CSKA and Spartak 78 360 fans from comfortable seats. The only “minus”, which is often referred to by teams from abroad, is a completely artificial turf. However, it is made of the most modern materials, which is also confirmed by UEFA, which assigned Luzhniki “five stars” and the status of “elite stadium”.

Alliance Arena Stadium

In Munich and its environs are located some of the most beautiful palaces and architectural masterpieces on our planet, and also in this city is the Allianz Arena stadium with the most beautiful external facade in the world. Even at the entrance to it, any guest of the city gives the impression that he is approaching the most interesting sports facility in the world. Thanks to the painstaking work of architects and designers, a real masterpiece was born: airbags of the Munich Bavaria’s home arena shimmer in all shades of white, blue and red. During matches in the Bundes League, the Alliance Arena accommodates more than 71,000 people. Convenient parking, comfortable seats for fans, UEFA appreciated all this and gave the “luminous” arena the 4th category.

San Siro Stadium

The San Siro Stadium, which is also named after the legendary football player Giuseppe Meazza, is located in the fashion capital Milan. It is the home arena for two top clubs in Italy and Europe, Milan and Inter. In this beautiful and “eternally screaming” stadium, official matches of the World Championship and Champions League have been held repeatedly. San Siro accommodates just over 80,000 (!) Fans and at the same time meets all safety requirements. Fabulous amounts are constantly invested in the home stadium of Inter and Milan: only the reconstruction, which was completed in record time, cost almost 55 million euros! All these costs are appreciated: "4 stars" and the title of "elite". San Siro is located in Milan, and this also indicates that the best stadium in Italy often becomes a concert venue,

Donbass Arena Stadium

Ukraine is currently experiencing far from its best times. However, there are enthusiasts in this country who naturally have enough funds and who support domestic football. The Donbass Arena stadium, which is home to FC Shakhtar, built in Donetsk in 2009, immediately attracted the attention of the organization making the list of the top 10 stadiums in the world. The huge investments of billionaire Rinat Akhmetov made it possible to build one of the best stadiums on our planet in a short period of time. Its capacity is just over 52,000 people, and UEFA assigned it the category of “Elite” and awarded it immediately with “five stars”. It is worth noting that so many stadiums in the world have not yet been able to get recognition of the most authoritative European football organization.
