On my travels I’ve now tried to visit famous or not so famous football stadiums. Ím sure there are quite a few of you that have seen many stadiums by following England or just popping over to Europe for the odd game or two. How about posting your snaps?

Boca Juniors Buenos Aires - Both Boca and River Plate originally played in Red and White. Apparently, the first ship that sailed down the river plate Boca would chose their colours of the flag. It happened to be a Swedish ship hence the blue and yellow. Those colours always reminded my of Bloomfield School rugby shirts in my day.

Great photos @Solidgone.
Plenty of good chat in the groundhopping thread but great to see photos like these. Keep them coming. ill post some of my own later on.1 -
Were there actually games on at any of these stadiums? - there's a lack of supporters in these photos, except one. Were these stadium tours?0

Malaga at home to Celta Viga. Ten minutes before kick off.

Siena v Genoa 2007 - it's sat in a bowl surrounded by trees. Such a nice ground and town for football. Genoa took a few thousand and were in town sightseeing before:
Sao Paulo v Botafogo 2010 - seen better grounds and games but not many better sunsets:
Uruguary v Israel 2010 at Centenario - home fans started a fire at the end, it felt more ceremonial than aggy:
Wisla Krakow v Gornik Zabrze 2017 - I'm 3/3 for games in Poland being delayed due to pyro smoke:
Kaiserslautern v Holsten Kiel 2017 - 3 huge single tiered stands and it's perched on a big hill looking over town. An awesome stadium:

outside Levski Sofia
View towards the home end at Levski
Sorry about the poor quality. Photos don't do it justice as to how dilapidated it really is, weeds growing through the concrete like the old East Terrace.1 -
Bohemians, Prague 20185 -
Fortuna Dusseldorf home to FSV Frankfurt (2nd division game)
View across the fifty or so FSV Frankfurt fans in the far corner who bothered to make the trip.
The stadium holds about 50,000 and was half full. It has a retractable roof and is in the middle of nowhere, like a lot of the new German stadiums. Nice walk back along the Rhine if you have a spare hour and a half.0 -
La Bombonera, Buenos Aires
El Nuevo Gasómetro home of San Lorenzo, Buenos Aires
San Paolo (before it was renamed), Naples
Artemio Franchi, Florence
Saitama Stadium, Japan
De Kuip, Rotterdam
Bernabeu, El Clasico.
That'll do for now, I've got loads more from Euros and World Cups, Annoyingly I can't find my ones from Westfalenstadion though.7 -
Mainz stadium, another out of town stadium.
Mainz at home to Augsburg
Augsburg supporters (away end). I wanted Augsburg to win once I heard the Mainz team come out to You'll Never Walk Alone (as did Club Bruges and Dortmund). I was also impressed by Augsburg's highly choreographed Germanic chanting and air punching.

Have not done this one, but ticked the old Mainz ground for a play-off game in '88 whilst watching England in the euro's.milo said:

Fantastic ground, do they allow away fans in now?Solidgone said:Boca Juniors Buenos Aires - Both Boca and River Plate originally played in Red and White. Apparently, the first ship that sailed down the river plate Boca would chose their colours of the flag. It happened to be a Swedish ship hence the blue and yellow.

Yes. The match was the only spoiler of my time in Copenhagen. I did manage to see a Copenhagen play but no photos.1
