G'day tribe. Yesterday I posted the second part of the biggest football stadiums in the world which you can check out here. Part one we took a journey through India, Egypt, Malaysia and Mexico. Part two was through USA, England and South Africa. Can you guess where part three will take us?
Let's look at the top 3 biggest football stadiums in the world!
3. Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain – 99,354
Camp Nou is the third biggest stadium and one of the most recognizable in the world. Home of FC Barcelona since 1957, the biggest stadium in Europe has seen many great players such as Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Thierry Henry grace the pitch.
The ground has hosted two Champions League Finals, 1982 FIFA World Cup matches and the 1992 Summer Olympics. In 1982 Pope John Paul II celebrated a Mass on the ground in front of a congregation of more than 120,000.
