About This Dataset
Largest Football Stadiums in the World by CapacityNorth Korea's Rungrado 1st of May Stadium leads with 113,281 seats, nearly 14,000 more than second-placed Camp Nou on 99,354 and the only football stadium in the world above 100,000. Africa is unusually strong in this ranking, supplying three of the top ten through South Africa's FNB Stadium and Egypt's New Administrative Capital and Borg El-Arab stadiums. Only two of the ten are primarily club grounds, Camp Nou for Barcelona and Estadio Azteca for Club America, while the rest are national or multi-purpose venues, showing that the largest football grounds are usually built for countries rather than clubs. The top ten spans just under 30,000 seats, from 113,281 down to 83,500.
