☆ UEFA Champions League Stadiums 2024/25

Intro StadiumDB.com presents UEFA Champions League Stadiums Season 2024/2025   We will be learning new rules in this year's  Champions League. One thing remains the same   and that is, of course, the stadiums. There  will be more than 30 of them in the competition,   and in this video we will show them all,  including the final stadium in Bavaria.   We will present the venues of the world's  most prestigious club football competition   from smallest to largest. As it  turns out, not everyone will play   in the stadiums where they play every day. A year ago, it was unlikely anyone would have   Estadi Montilivi, Girona FC expected Girona in the Champions League.  Although bigger stadiums than the one   in Catalonia were not allowed, Girona  will play the competition at home.   There was no stadium confusion for Sparta Prague,  who will play in the Champions League at their   Stadion Letná, AC Sprarta Praha 18,000 capacity venue. A stadium on this site  already existed in 1917. Today, Epet Arena is   one of the main sports venues in the country. One of the clubs that will not play in its own   Stade du Roudourou, Stade Brestois stadium is Stade Brestois 29. The replacement  stadium is located in one of the smallest cities   in this year's Champions League. Capacity  is 18,000 - impressive for a city with a   population of less than 8,000! AS Monaco, or Adolf Hutter's wards,   Stade Louis II, AS Monaco are playing in a slightly larger but  unexceptional stadium. Stade Louis II is the   only venue in the world that can accommodate  two-thirds of its country's population. It   hosted many European Super Cup matches. Nor can Slovan Bratislava boast a large stadium.   Národný futbalový štadión, Slovan Bratislava The Slovaks, however, have been attached to this  venue since 1939, when the first Tehelne Pole,   or simply ‘Tehelko’, was built, where the  Czechoslovak national team played its matches.   One of the stadiums where work has been carried  out recently is Gewiss Stadium. In 2019,   Stadio di Bergamo, Atalanta Bergamo the redevelopment of the stadium began, with the  main aim of removing the arches behind the goals   and replacing them with new stands. Italy has something in common with   Stadion Maksimir, Dinamo Zagreb Croatia - old stadiums. Maksimir  Stadium, where Dinamo Zagreb plays,   was inaugurated more than 100 years ago. Maybe  it's time for a stadium revolution in Croatia?   Jan Breydelstadion, Club Brugge For a moment, we move to Belgium. Jan  Breydel Stadion is home to Club Brugge and   Cercle Brugge, but it is the former club that is  able to fill the stands. In the Champions League,   this feat is also likely to succeed. Another club that will not hear The Champions   Wörthersee Stadion, Sturm Graz in their own stadium is Sturm Graz. The  Austrian team will be performing at a   venue almost twice the size of their own in  Klagenfurt. The city will benefit from this,   with each match generating around €2 million. We are not saying goodbye to Austria yet,   Stadion Salzburg, FC Salzburg as Red Bull Salzburg have also been  promoted to the Champions League. The   stadium of this team is more capacious than the  Klagenfurt venue by less than 200 seats.   BayArena, Bayer 04 Leverkusen You might not have expected Bayer Leverkusen at  this point, but it is true that the team does not   play at a huge stadium. Nor is it particularly  hospitable to the visitors, as they do not   usually return with their heads held high. But  for their own fans, in addition to tickets,   the sponsor Bayer could hand out chill pills,  considering the goals in the last minutes...   Stadion Wankdorf, Young Boys A bigger stadium than Bayer's has, for  example, a team called Young Boys Bern,   who advanced to the Champions League after  the play-offs. The current venue was built   on the site of the former Stadion Wankdorf,  which hosted the 1954 World Cup final.   PSV Stadion, PSV Eindhoven The Champions League will also feature one  of the largest stadiums in the Netherlands.   At the end of the 20th century it hosted  the Euros. The attendance record was set   on the occasion of Manchester United's  arrival. This time the Red Devils in   Eindhoven will definitely not be there. Our next stop is a special one. Bologna last   Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna FC played in the Champions League, or rather  its equivalent, in the 1964/65 season. The   distinctive red brick tower, which has been  the stadium's trademark for 97 years, will   therefore see the biggest football stars back. Undoubtedly the newer and more modern stadium,   Juventus Stadium, Juventus FC is Allianz Stadium, where Juventus play. The venue  is an example of a rare scenario in which a larger   stadium is demolished and a smaller one is built  instead. For its inauguration Juve played... you   wouldn't have guessed it: against Notts County. Now that we've mentioned England,   Villa Park, Aston Villa let's stay there. One of the most surprising  teams is Aston Villa, led by Unai Emery,   who will be able to say ‘Gut Ibinin’ on Tuesday  and Wednesday nights. The club last featured in   the equivalent of the Champions League in the  1982/83 season, while Villa Park was instead   established back in the 19th century. RB Leipzig certainly does not have such   RB Arena, RB Leipzig a rich history, although their stadium does.  Zentralstadion used to hold 100 thousand people,   and after it was rebuilt for the 2006 World  Cup, it became apparent that there was nothing   to do with the facility. Fortunately, a club RB  Leipzig was formed and has been using the arena,   which undoubtedly gives the team wings. From Germany, we are not far from Benelux,   Stadion Feijenoord 'De Kuip', Feyenoord Rotterdam where there is a landmark stadium. The  structure of De Kuip, where Feyenoord plays,   was the model for Camp Nou. Despite modernisation,  the facility has retained its shape. De Kuip has   hosted as many as 10 European cup finals. We are halfway through all the stadiums we   will see in this year's Champions League - so the  biggest venues are ahead of us. Before we go any   further, you can like the content and subscribe  to our channel if you haven't already done so.   Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain A slightly bigger venue is Parc des Princes.  The stadium situation of the French league   hegemon is unclear, but there will be no  revolution yet this season. Nor will there be   an attendance record, as this one exceeds  the current capacity by several thousand.   Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, FC Barcelona The last stadium on the list with less than 50,000  capacity is the Montjuic venue in Barcelona. The   Blaugrana have announced that they will return to  Camp Nou during this season, but we will not see   the legendary arena in the Champions League. If we were to judge stadiums not by capacity,   Stade Pierre Mauroy, Lille OSC this venue in Lille would also rank high.  The arena was used during the Olympics   as well as for Euro 2016. It is a relatively  new stadium - it was inaugurated in 2012.   Estádio Jose Alvalade, Sporting CP A city with more than one great stadium is  also Lisbon. The local Sporting will play in   the Champions League at Estádio José Alvalade.  It hosted five Euro matches in 2004 and less   than a year later, local arena-owner Sporting  faced CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Cup final.   We move to the historic stadium of Crvena zvezda.  Even before it was completed, crowds used to come   Stadion Rajko Mitić, Crvena Zvezda here. Thanks to its huge audiences, the facility  was nicknamed Marakana in its early years.   A slightly larger venue is Etihad, where  Manchester City play. The stadium is   City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester City currently undergoing an extension. This  will make the Etihad stand out even more   from Britain's run-down stadiums. One such is undoubtedly Celtic Park.   Celtic Park, Celtic FC The stadium is considered one of Leo Messi's  favourites. ‘I've been lucky enough to play in   some great stadiums in Europe with Barcelona,  but none can compare to Celtic,’ - he said.   The Argentine also has a Celtic shirt. We have already discussed some unexpected clubs,   Arena Stuttgart, VfB Stuttgart and to these we can add Stuttgart. The club  last played in the Champions League in the   2009/2010 season, with the team then reaching the  round of 16, where they faced FC Barcelona.   Arsenal Stadium, Arsenal FC Arsenal are back in the Champions League for  good. The next season in the competition will,   of course, be hosted at Emirates. Josh  Kroenke, a member of Arsenal's board   of directors, has revealed that the  club has had ‘internal discussions’   about refurbishing Emirates Stadium. Only a slightly larger stadium is Anfield,   Anfield, Liverpool FC which has gained several thousand new seats  following its redevelopment. The work took as   long as nine years, during which Liverpool played  at Anfield Road. The club's venue is the largest   English stadium in these competitions. From England, we move to a second-tier   Arena AufSchalke, Shakhtar Donetsk venue in Germany. Shakhtar Donetsk will play  their home Champions League matches at the   Schalke Stadium. Veltins Arena not so long  ago hosted the Champions League thanks to   the form of the team from Gelsenkirchen. The largest stadium in Portugal to hear The   Estadio do SL Benfica, SL Benfica Champions is Estadio da Luz. Its colloquial name  comes from the district in which it is located.   In 2007, the selection of the 7 New Wonders  of the World was announced at this venue,   and the Champions League final  was scheduled for 2014 here.   Estadio Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid The Champions League at Metropolitano is  not such a phenomenon. No cigarettes will   be smoked at the 2030 World Cup venue under  the new rule, and there are parcel machines   for the forgetful ones so they can be sent  home quickly. The arena is distinguished   by its huge roof and hot atmosphere. It's fitting that we are around stadiums   Fußball Arena München, Bayern Munich for Champions League finals, as the next venue  on the list is Allianz Arena. This is where the   winner of the trophy will be determined this  season. According to many, Bayern's stadium is   the best in the world. What makes it unique is  its cladding, created from 2784 rhombus-shaped   airbags that form the facade and roof. The 75,000-seat barrier is also exceeded   Stadio San Siro, AC Milan and Inter Milan by San Siro, where two teams - Inter  and Milan - will play in this year's   Champions League. Both clubs are preparing to  design and build their own stadiums, but the   matter is complicated. So we are happy while  we can watch San Siro on the biggest stage.   Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid The second biggest Champions League venue  is Santiago Bernabeu - synonymous with   the Champions League. The dominator of these  competitions has also taken over the stadium   market. The facility is Florentino Perez's  youngest child, which is making huge profits   through several activities. Will we watch  Bernabeu all the way to the semi-finals?   The title of the biggest Champions League  stadium goes to Signal Iduna Park. The venue,   BVB Stadion Dortmund, Borussia Dortmund known for its fantastic atmosphere, has  already witnessed the World Cup or the Euros,   and the Champions League is associated with  Dortmund's 4:1 demolition of Real Madrid. Thanks   to its compact size and excellent visibility, the  stadium is sometimes regarded as one of the best   in the world for watching football matches. We have already discussed all the Champions   Outro League stadiums. Which one do you plan to  be in this season? Write in the comments,   and it's time for us to go. More content will be  coming soon though, so stay tuned! See you there.
