They are more than bricks and mortar; they are a symbol, a social hub a reference point for any fan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">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 \u2018ol David-Who-Fought-Goliath narrative; the magic of the cup, and all that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">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\u2019s no real correlation to each arena, just a collage of the sport\u2019s beauty in all four corners of the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"riddle_target\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; max-width: 100%; width: 640px;\" data-rid-id=\"349658\" data-fg=\"#FF00FF\" data-bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)\" data-auto-scroll=\"true\" data-auto-scroll-offset=\"5\"><script src=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/files\/js\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 300px; border: 1px solid #cfcfcf;\" title=\"Quiz - Niche football grounds: Can you match the club to their stadium just by picture?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/a\/349658?\"><\/p>\n<section>\n<h2>\n<h2>Niche football grounds: Can you match the club to their stadium just by picture?<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>\n<h2><strong>Who plays here in Scotland?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>\n<h2>One nation has the pleasure of enjoying this scenery while trying to hit the onion bag.
