6. Santiago Bernabeu, Spain
One of the most prosperous clubs in Europe is based in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid’s position in the top tier of world football is assured thanks to their nine European championships, and there is no better place for them to play than at their home stadium.
The Santiago Bernabeu, which was initially constructed in 1947, has since undergone two renovations to better suit the goals of the Galacticos: once in 1982 and once in 2001. Numerous of the greatest players in the history of the game have called the stadium their home, including Ferenc Puskas, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Gareth Bale, the most expensive player in the world, joined Real Madrid at the beginning of this season, reiterating the club’s status as a footballing behemoth.
The Santiago Bernabeu has always been a top choice when it comes to hosting football events and is likely to continue doing so for years to come despite being overshadowed by Camp Nou’s capacity.

The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is well known for its enormous capacity (104,000) and electrifying atmosphere when full, but it will be remembered as the only stadium to hold two World Cup finals.
Sadly for England supporters, it is also where Diego Maradona scored his memorable “Hand of God” goal.
The stadium, the third-largest football stadium in the world, is without a doubt one of the best around, even though the vast majority of England fans may not have fond memories of the location.

Tenants at Old Trafford are divisive. Either you adore them or you despise them. Whatever your perspective, though, there is no denying that “The Theatre of Dreams” is a genuinely stunning arena.
The Red Devils’ stadium, which was built in 1910 and was renovated in 2006, can accommodate over 75,000 spectators and is the biggest club stadium in England.

2. The Allianz Arena, Germany
Both football teams with Munich as their home city, Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich play at the exquisitely designed Allianz Arena. The only stadium in all of Europe that can switch between red and blue to represent Bayern and 1860 Munich, respectively, depending on which teams are playing.
Due to the fans’ proximity to the field, which was a problem at the Olympiastadion’s prior location because it had a jogging track around the field, the stadium has been a major hit with both groups of supporters.
The comparatively new Allianz Arena will undoubtedly establish itself as one of the top football stadiums in the world for years to come.

The new design has taken into account all that was excellent about the original stadium and has further enhanced its reputation as having one of the most electrifying atmospheres in all of football. Even though the fabled Twin Towers are no longer standing, the Wembley Arch has taken its place.
It has become routine for “The Home of Football” to host some of the most prestigious matches in European and international football.
