A Guide to Every Spanish Football Stadium

Spain is a passionate country when it comes to Football, with 66 stadiums dedicated to the sport across the country

The Camp Nou - A cathedral for football and home to FC Barcelona

Some of the world’s most recognisable stadiums are located in Spain, owed partly to the fact that two of the biggest football clubs in the world, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, play in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Moreover, Spain has some of the most devoted fans. They love the game of football with their entire hearts, and this has led to many new stadium builds in the past century.

Even though the biggest stadiums in Spain are concentrated in three of the country’s major cities, Barcelona, Madrid and Seville, smaller regions and cities have a stadium too, as you will see from this list!

Many Spanish stadiums feature an athletics track on their field.

The newer, multi-purpose stadiums typically steer clear of this feature, but these tracks are very popular in older stadiums.
