Weird & wonderful football grounds: Can you match the club to their niche stadium just by picture?
Football grounds are the heart and soul of any club. They are more than bricks and mortar; they are a symbol, a social hub a reference point for any fan.
Some have been indelibly etched into psyche of the sport: the Camp Nou, Anfield, the Maracana, La Bombonera, Wembley. Some are gone but never forgotten: Upton Park, Highbury, Maine Road.
However, in some corners of the world, football grounds stand out, not necessarily for historic merit, but for sheer aesthetics, iconic matches as a neutral venue, uncharted land for heavyweights in domestic cups; the ‘ol David-Who-Fought-Goliath narrative; the magic of the cup, and all that.
Here we celebrate the weird, wonderful and wacky that football has to offer when it comes to stadia. Have a go at our quiz below to see if you can guess these niche grounds. There’s no real correlation to each arena, just a collage of the sport’s beauty in all four corners of the world.
