Famous Soccer Stadiums Around the World

The grounds every soccer fan should see at least once, from the Yellow Wall in Dortmund to the steep stands of La Bombonera and the World Cup history of the Azteca. Each photo shows the stadium itself, most of them packed on a matchday or seen whole from above, so you can read the stands, the roofline and what makes each place feel different. The test for a place here is simple: a ground with history, a crowd with its own habits, and a reason to plan a trip around a fixture. Club grounds and national stadiums both count, across Europe, South America, Mexico and Africa. Venues built mainly for the Olympics or for other sports are left out, so this stays a gallery of soccer homes.
