List of the largest stadiums in the world

The May Day Stadium in Pyongyang is the largest stadium and football stadium in the world with around 114,000 (previously 150,000) seats.

Maracanã ( Rio de Janeiro ) - over 170,000 spectators, including standing room, watched the final round match of the 1950 World Cup (current capacity: 78,838)

The Camp Nou in Barcelona with 99,354 spectators, the largest football stadium in Europe and the biggest club stadium in the world

The list of the largest stadiums in the world calls all currently existing stadiums worldwide that have at least 60,000 seats and used. This is considered to be the area where the so-called major stadiums begin. However, this does not include motorsport racetracks . The sport for which the stadium is mainly used, the year it was opened, whether there is a running track and the seating capacity are stated. There are currently 167 stadiums that meet the above requirements. 15 are in Africa , 31 in Asia , three in Oceania , 25 in Europe , 80 in North America - 77 of them in the United States  - and 12 in South America . Germany is represented with four stadiums.

The Circus Maximus in ancient Rome is the largest stadium of all time and has up to 250,000 seats. The Strahov Stadium in Prague , Czech Republic , with up to 250,000 spectators, has meanwhile become the largest stadium in the world. Today, however, it only has a usable capacity of 56,000 people due to the very poor condition of the rest of the stadium.

Explanation

• Seat : states the ranking position that the stadium occupies in the list according to the number of seats.
• Seats: states the number of seats in the stadium. These can consist of single seat shells, as in the newer stadiums in Europe , or of seats on benches or concrete steps, as is the case with many of the somewhat older stadiums in South America . The stadiums in which the number of seats does not correspond to the spectator capacity customary there are marked with a footnote. For international matches that take place in the context of continental or intercontinental tournaments (e.g. soccer world championship ), additional seats are usually set up for the media representatives. The resulting reduction in seating capacity is not included in this list.
• Name: gives the name of the stadium.
• City: The city in which the stadium is located.
• Country: The country in which the stadium is located. The national flag is shown and the three-digit ISO-3166-1 code is called.
• Continent: Name of the continent on which the stadium is located.
• Opening: states the year in which the stadium was opened.
• Career: Called whether the stadium, a track for athletics competitions has (yes) or not (No) .
• Use: Specifies the sport for which the stadium is mainly used.

Note: The list can be sorted : by clicking on a column header the list is sorted according to this column, clicking twice reverses the sorting. Any desired combination can be achieved by clicking two columns in a row.
