And, here are our selection of the best football stadiums in the world. We hope you liked it. In case if you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to send us in the comment box below.
The Allianz Stadium is NOT in the United Kingdom, but in Germany
Have you looked at Tottenham Hotspurs stadium
Yes indeed – a bit more proofreading is required here and elsewhere.
So Wembley is no 1 because of its size. How so? The Camp Nou has a capacity of 99,354 and has held 120,000. Wembley has a mere 90,000 seats.
It is not just about size. There is something else about Wembly. It is not a list of the biggest but the best.
And, likings can be completely personal. A Real Madrid fan will say Santiago Bernabeu is the best as the cules will say Camp Nou is the best.
What of Tottenhams new stadium
Yes, it deserves an honorable mention in this list. We will soon update it.
I’ve been to the San Siro, the Nou Camp and the Bernabeau and I can quite catergorically state they are nowhere near the beauty of the new Spurs stadium. In fact I’d condemn the San Siro as a fllthy cesspit that should be demolished. The Nou camp is a round concrete bowl with zero facilities. The Bernabeau is acceptable-just.
Yes, we will surely include the new Spurs stadium in our list when we will update it.
Best in Nepal Pokhara ground can see the Himalayas too
Yes, there are several grounds in Nepal that are really mesmerizing. We will soon include those as well.

Dortmund is not mentioned.
shame on the content provided
It is not mentioned as we think it is not among the top 10 stadiums. But sure, it deserves an honorable mention in this list.
Where is Kolkata solt lake stadium?
It is not among the top 10 stadiums. Not according to the infrastructure or the seating capacity.
What about the Emirates stadium and the Stanford bridge
We had to pick just 10 for this list. But sure, these stadiums are also great.
