Football is a passion shared across the globe, and for many, stadiums are places of worship. Express Sport has selected 17 of the best stadiums that every football fan must visit before they die, spanning historic icons and modern marvels.
San Siro - Milan
The San Siro is one of the best stadiums on the planet and must be seen to be believed. Plans to knock it down are pencilled in for next year, so visitors should get a move on.
Allianz Arena - Munich
The Allianz Arena in Munich is everything a modern stadium should be. It is huge, but the size does not take away from the matchday experience. Its spaceship-like exterior is a sight to behold.
Estadio Monumental - Buenos Aires
The first trip outside Europe takes visitors to the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. The historic home of River Plate has taken on many guises over the years and is set for another renovation before the end of the decade. With a capacity of 85,000, it is certainly monumental in name and nature.
Municipal Stadium - Braga
One of the smallest grounds on the list, the Municipal Stadium in Braga is a must-see simply for its unique design.
