Camp Nou was chosen as the site for one of the competition's semi-finals when Spain hosted the 1982 FIFA World Cup. It's not surprising considering the capacity had nearly doubled from 93,000 to nearly 121,000 people. Since then, the number of supporters permitted to enter Camp Nou has fluctuated, rising and falling in response to safety concerns and the evolution of the various stands. In 1982, the same year it hosted the World Cup, 121,000 people gathered for a massive Mass in the presence of Pope John Paul II.
2. Wembley Stadium (England)
Wembley Stadium is home to England's national team, so fans are used to disappointment. However, the stadium is most notable for hosting the FA Cup semi-finals and England's most prestigious championship. It also hosts the League Cup final and is qualified to host major European tournaments like the Champions League final and European Championship matches.
3. Signal Iduna Park
Because of the Signal Iduna Group's sponsorship, Borussia Dortmund's stadium is now known as Signal Iduna Park. It was originally known as the Westfalenstadion, after the region in which it was constructed. The Westfalenstadion, dubbed "the best football ground anywhere in the world" by The Times, is Germany's largest stadium in terms of capacity.
4. Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium
Real Madrid is one of the most famous football clubs in the world, and Estadio Santiago Bernabéu is one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. The stadium of Real Madrid, which opened in 1947, has undergone numerous renovations over the years to keep it up to date and to allow more fans to attend Real Madrid's games.
5. Germany's Allianz Arena
It had a capacity of only 66,000 when it first opened more than a decade ago, which proved far too small for Bayern's needs. Since then, the stadium's capacity has increased many times, reaching its current level of 75,000. However, this is only applicable to league matches. When it hosts a Germany national match, the stadium's capacity is reduced to 70,000. The stadium's name is derived from the financial services firm Allianz. Because it is not an official partner of UEFA or FIFA, the stadium's name is changed during international and European matches, and and all Allianz branding is hidden.
