Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung, Indonesia
Despite the surge, Stadium Gelora Bandung Lautan Api has not been in use by the Persib team, but the stadium is the grandest stadium in Indonesia, Asia, and even the world and is the pride of our citizens in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
I also cannot wait to watch the home games of Persib in this grand stadium.
The atmosphere would be perfect as the home base of Persib Bandung. The seats will always be full of Bobotoh (supporters of Persib Bandung) singing along for 90 minutes. It wouldn't be surprising if this stadium becomes world-renowned in the near future.
-
Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain
It's the largest stadium in Spain and one of Catalonia's best pieces of art. You will experience the best stadium atmosphere here.
Biggest club stadium in Europe. Steep-sided, beautiful stadium. FC Barcelona, the best team in the world's home! "Més que un club."
Camp Nou is the best football stadium, more so because it holds the best soccer team in the world and the world's best players.
-
Wembley Stadium, London, England
Wembley Stadium is a football stadium located in London, England, and serves as the home of the England national football team. Reopened in 2007 after extensive renovation, it has a seating capacity of 90,000, making it the largest stadium in the UK. The venue is known for its distinctive "Wembley Arch... read more
Camp Nou? Nothing special. Just a huge bowl.
Wembley is perfection. The architecture, the atmosphere, it's legendary. Nothing beats it.
Can't get any better! Top of my list! Wembley Stadium is the head of English football. It has hosted the FA Cup, the League Cup, and even the Champions League.
The home of football. Enough said.
-
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid, Spain
I think the owner of this page is Indonesian because even the number one football team is Indonesia and the number one stadium is also in Indonesia. In fact, the best football team is Real Madrid, and the best stadium is Santiago Bernabéu.
The Bernabéu is more beautiful than Camp Nou from both the inside and the outside. In addition, it has hosted Euro and World Cup finals, whereas Camp Nou hasn't.
Santiago Bernabéu is the best stadium of all time, and the fans there support their team so much. Real Madrid is awesome.
-
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England
-
Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany
I think this is the most beautiful stadium in the world from what I have seen.
One of the most beautiful stadiums in the world.
The best stadium in the world for the best team in the world, Bayern Munich.
-
San Siro, Milan, Italy
The theatre of football. It is elegant, historical, and very passionate at the same time. It is the home of two giants such as Inter and AC Milan. Amazing when the two teams play each other in one of the most spectacular derbies worldwide.
I think San Siro deserves the 4th position in this ranking because it is a large and beautiful stadium.
-
Old Trafford, Manchester, England
Old Trafford is a football stadium located in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. It serves as the home stadium for Manchester United Football Club. With a seating capacity of 74,994, it is the largest club football stadium in the United Kingdom and ranks as the eleventh-largest stadium in Europe... read more
Can anyone please point out why Old Trafford is the Theatre of Dreams? Well, because it is. The best reason is because it's simply the Theatre of Dreams. While Camp Nou is just some stadium that has a large capacity and looks boring, Old Trafford is the dream of dreams. Wembley might look better, but come on, it's the main stadium in the UK.
Among the many great stadiums in the world, Old Trafford, or 'The Theatre of Dreams,' is my favorite.
It needs to be higher. They have the most fans in the world. At least top 3.

Estadio Alberto J. Armando (La Bombonera), Buenos Aires, Argentina

Azadi Stadium, Tehran, Iran
Azadi Stadium is hell for Persepolis opponents.
It is home to the Esteghlal Iran club and the Iran national team. At one of the final matches of the Asian Champions League between Esteghlal and a Japanese team, 120,000 fans came to Azadi.
I come from Iran, so I will vote for it.
P.S. It is huge!

Anfield, Liverpool, England
Anfield is a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool, England, with a seating capacity of 54,074, making it the sixth-largest football stadium in England. It has been the home of Liverpool F.C. since the club's formation in 1892. The stadium is also known for its passionate atmosphere, particularly in... read more
Well, a great stadium is not just about its size. It is also about the playing environment there and the history. The crowd in the environment makes a significant impact, and well, the glory also matters.
Anfield is easily in the top three stadiums (arguably the best) when you consider all the aspects. It can be compared to none when a loud and energetic crowd sings: YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE.
Anfield is a very historic stadium. Despite its size, it contains a lot of history. You'll never walk alone, Liverpool.
-
Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The best stadium where one can see the best football games being played.
What if Rio de Janeiro were to host a Super Bowl game?
-
Westfalenstadion, Dortmund, Germany
To quote London's The Times:
"Borussia Dortmund's ground is a classic. Two huge end terraces (and they are terraces, with the use of safe standing) that fling noise down at the playing area with deafening intensity. This place was built for football and for fans to express themselves. Every European Cup final should be held here. The best atmosphere on the Continent on a game-to-game basis."
'Nough said.
Signal Iduna Park is just phenomenal. I went there to watch the game against Mönchengladbach in the 2015-2016 season, and I literally felt an earthquake in the stadium because of the crowd. And the stadium itself is just so beautiful.
-
Emirates Stadium, London, England
Even Tottenham fans admit that the Emirates Stadium is the most beautiful stadium in England. Not only that, the atmosphere and the support provided by every single fan there is immense.
And I don't mean the sort of atmosphere you get at West Ham's stadium, where everyone you see has a criminal record. I mean the sort of atmosphere where you can hear families with young children enjoying themselves just as much as the adult 'die-hard' fans are.
All in all, it might not be the biggest stadium in the world (which most people voting in this list think this list is about), but it's by far the most advanced and easily the most beautiful stadium on this list.
-
El Monumental, Buenos Aires, Argentina
-
Stamford Bridge, London, England
The atmosphere is electric, and it's home to the best football club in the world.
-
Juventus Stadium, Turin, Italy
One of the best atmospheres in Europe and despite its small size is one of the best. Its small size ensures that it is always full and is very well made. Beautiful to look at.
For me, it deserves to be in the top five. It's better than the Allianz and Azadi. I don't know what the first one on this list is, but it is probably better than that.
-
Estadio Azteca, Mexico City, Mexico
The Azteca Stadium!
It may not be a piece of modern architecture, but it's definitely one of the greatest places to watch a game. The vibe you feel in there is impressive. All those chills you get when people scream, you really feel the passion for football. Not to mention the famous "Wave" in the crowd and the song "Cielito Lindo" every time the national team plays a game there.
It definitely blows your mind.
