As Hampden Park , three football stadiums in Glasgow , Scotland , used by FC Queen's Park , have been or are being referred to. The first soccer field, opened on June 9, 1867, is considered to be the oldest soccer stadium in the world. After another stopover, FC Queen's Park and the place name Hampden Park moved to their current location on October 31, 1903. The arena, which currently only has 51,866 seats, was considered the largest football stadium in the world for many years until the Estádio do Maracanã was opened in 1950 . Both stadiums used to have six-digit attendance figures, but this is no longer possible due to renovations and for safety reasons. On April 17, 1937, 149,547 visitors saw the international match between Scotland and England here, a record attendance that is still valid in Great Britain today, which was only exceeded in South America after the Second World War.

The home games of the Scottish national football team also take place in Hampden Park . The Scottish Claymores' NFL Europe team also played some of the home games from 1995 to 2004 in Glasgow.

Special games

European finals

Curiously, two Frankfurt teams, Eintracht Frankfurt and Frankfurt Galaxy , each took part in finals for European titles in Hampden Park . The footballers lost the European Cup against Real Madrid with 3: 7 in front of 127,000 spectators in 1960 , but the footballers won the 2003 World Bowl against Rhein Fire .

In 1966, Borussia Dortmund became the first German team to win a European title: the European Cup Winners' Cup . The final was won 2-1 after extra time against Liverpool .

In 1976, FC Bayern Munich won against AS Saint-Étienne with a goal by Franz “Bulle” Roth in the 57th minute of their third European Cup in front of 54,684 spectators.

In 2002 Bayer 04 Leverkusen lost the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid 2-1 in front of 52,000 spectators . This consolidated the dubious title of the eternal runner-up , as the works club had previously lost the DFB Cup final and also gambled away the championship title at the end of the season.

In 2007 the UEFA Cup final between Sevilla FC and Espanyol Barcelona took place. Sevilla FC won the game 3-1 on penalties. After extra time it was 2-2.

Olympic football tournament 2012

During the Olympic Games in 2012 , seven preliminary round games and one quarter-finals of the Olympic football tournament took place here.
