10 of the most beautiful locations in football
Football is called the beautiful game for the skill of what happens on the field and the passion it invokes off it. But on top of that, there are places around the world that make for a truly spectacular football experience. Here are 10 of them.
1. Rio de Janeiro
If you went to the FIFA World Cup in 2014 you’d have taken your ball along to the beaches of Rio and made all your friends back home jealous.
2. Gibraltar
With the massive Rock of Gibraltar towering over the local Victoria Stadium, this is one stunning football venue.
3. Nepal
At an annual Nepalese festival, elephants take part in a game of football.
4. Central Coast Stadium
A bit closer to home, the Central Coast Mariners home stadium has palm trees behind the goals, separating the venue from the water.
5. Portugal’s Estadio Municipal de Braga
Built into the mountain, this is a sure fire way to intimidate the opposition.
6. Singapore’s water-side pitch
Inner cities can lack green space to play football, so why not build a pitch on the water? Simple.
7. Floating football pitch in Thailand
The ball boys at this floating pitch in a small village in Thailand will need to bring their swimmers.
8. Rooftop futsal pitch in Tokyo
Every skyscraper should have this on top. A wonderful place to play football complete with an amazing view of the Shibuyu district in Tokyo.
9. Rheinpark Stadion in Liechtenstein
Set on a backdrop of the alps, training or playing at this venue would be mind bogglingly beautiful.
10. Monaco
The whole tiny country is stunning, and the stadium there is no exception.
