The largest stadium in the world. The largest and spacious football stadium

Football is perhaps the most popular game in the world, a game that collects millions of TVs and tens of thousands - at the stadium. After all, the TV, even the most nice and big, still does not transmit the atmosphere of the holiday, which accompanies any match.

And the more people going on it at the same time, the brighter and joyful this holiday. And what to say about the world's largest football stadium, which is able to accommodate ... And by the way, how many people can they hurt on it at the same time?

More recently, any fan would say that most people can fit in Maracan. But, if you understand well, it is not. After all, in this truly large stadium, a little less than 89 thousand people are placed. This, of course, is much, but far from the limit. See yourself.

Stadium of May Day, Korea, Pyongyang, 150,000 people

Surprisingly, the most grand stadium is located in a not football country at all - in Korea. The country may not be a football, but the official mode loves all the most ambitious and impressive, even the stadium must match.

Therefore, about a quarter of a century ago, a decree was given to build the mostst stadium equal to which is not in the world. His discovery was timed to the 13th Festival of Youth and Students, who celebrated on May 1, 1989. Construction passed clearly and on schedule (we would like this) and on time the stadium opened over 80 doors for 150,000 people.

Architects tried to fame. The highlight of the stadium was 16 closed in the ring arches, which make it similar to the magnolia flower (or chamomile, which is not so sublime, but more likely).

Theoretically, it is considered a home-made stadium of the National Korean football team, but more often on it you can see the famous Chinese theatrical ideas, where the stands turn into huge screens and changing pictures, and the field develops real extravagancies.

Already almost a quarter of a century, he remains unsurpassed by a miracle of the world of competitors, he does not have and will not be foreseen.

Stadium of Indian youth, India, Calcutta, 120,000 people

The second capacity of the stadium is even superior to the most bold fantasies, but still lags behind 30 thousand places from the champion. Interestingly, he is also located in far from football, but a very densely populated country.

Opened him back in 1984. At that time, he was the most capacious stadium with a real miracle of technology. Large screens, artificial coating tracks, elevators, own diesel generator, capable of maintaining the work of the lighting and other necessary for the vital activity of the stadium, devices.

It takes home meetings of several Indian teams and other important matches. But besides football, he also accepts other competitions, first of all - by athletics. It also uses for other purposes: in the stadium there are dance competitions, theatrical performances and concerts.

Stadium Bukit Jalil, Malaysia, Kualu-Lumpur, 110,000 people

We put this stadium in the third place with the number of places 110,000. But in order to avoid disputes, we will immediately discuss that in different sources a different capacity is indicated: 100,000, 102,000 and so on. The thing is that in this stadium there is both sitting and standing places. And the standing place is the concept of conditional (who traveled in the subway at the rush hour - he knows). Therefore, we will not be greedy and give him the third place.
It was built in 2007 to take the game of the Commonwealth, that he was honored with honor. But after that, it is regularly possible to see the games of national teams on it, teams are stopped here and within their tour.

Aztec, Mexico, Mexico City, 105,000 people

The largest football stadium of South America and one of the largest in the world, he managed a lot of things to see for her more than half a century. Here were the finals of the two championships World Football (which was never happening). Here Maradonna scored his famous "goal of the century", "the hand of God" was demonstrated here in his own performance.
Stadium and now collects full stands at home matches of the national team and other important sporting events. It is interesting that his declared capacity is 105,000 thousand people, but somehow 132,347 spectators were placed on the Boxer Boxers of Greg Hogen and Julio Cevera Chavez in the stadium.
His architecture is interesting: he looks not so high from the street, but it is a deceptive impression, because the field itself is hung 9 meters below the ground level. Despite this, he still remains one of the most highly mountain shares of the world.

Bung Carno Stadium, Indonesia, Jakarta. 100 800 people

The top five is closed by another Asian miracle, which was built in 1961. Soviet friends were actively helped in this local. Apparently, that is why the stadium somewhat resembles the famous Luzhniki.

By the way, putting it on the fifth place with 100,800 thousand places, we slightly survived. Such was his initial capacity, now, after several rearrangements, it decreased and now is about 88,000. But, giving tribute to the genius of engineers who have created a half a century ago, we will leave it in the list.

On it and now passing all the most significant football events of Indonesia, the matches of Asian games, as well as numerous cultural events. John Paul II spoke here, Ivan Linkin Park gathered here.

And we have not mentioned other largest football stadiums: azadi with a capacity of 100,000 (Tehran, Iran), Kampa Nou from 98,900 seats (Barcelona, \u200b\u200bSpain), Beijing National Stadium from 91,000 (Beijing, China), Wembley from 90 000 (London, England). And only after them is a famous maracana.

Do you know that the word "stadium" behaves from ancient Greek "stand"? True, since the same time they have increased so much that now seating here is enough for the fact that it is not enough to accommodate half of the smallest city.

There are tens of thousands of stadiums in the world, most of which can be divided into universal (which has the opportunity to hold both athletics and football matches), and football (for playing football).
