Top 20 Football Stadiums
in the world To help decide just which are the very best stadiums in world football we have taken into consideration, size of the stadium, atmosphere and visual appeal to rank them in order. Here we Go.
14. Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Notable fixtures: 1978 World Cup final The Estadio Monumental, as it’s known for short, is the home to Argentina’s most famous club, River Plate, as well as the national team. The stadium is the largest in Argentina and is remembered for the ticker tape-covered, controversial World Cup final in 1978. Hosts Argentina inflicted the Netherlands’ second successive World Cup final defeat by lifting the trophy for the first time in the country’s history.
13. Estadio Alberto J. Armando (Buenos Aires, Argentina) It may not be as large as Argentina’s national football stadium, Estadio Monumental, but the ground known as La Bombanera—the chocolate box, because of its structure—is certainly the most famous. Home to Argentinian giants Boca Juniors, the design of the stadium—with a “flat” stand on one side of the pitch and three deep stands around the rest—La Bombanera place as one of the most iconic stands in world football is secure. The “flat” stand is said to shake when the diehard Boca fans are at their very loudest.
