The Biggest Football Stadiums in the World

Capacity rankings favor multipurpose bowls. The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang is usually listed first at well over 100,000, while Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata and Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur push past 85,000 with football as their main tenant.

Among European club grounds, Camp Nou leads at about 99,000, with its rebuild aiming beyond 105,000. England tops out at Wembley with 90,000, and the Maracana, once close to 200,000, now seats about 78,000 after modern rebuilds.

Numbers shift constantly with renovations, safe standing conversions and league rules, so treat every capacity as a snapshot..
