A picturesque and remote tiny island in northern Norway can be doubtlessly proud of its football stadium that overlooks a series of absolutely breathtaking natural landscapes in the near distance.
The small fishing village of Henningsvær, located on the southern coast of the island of Austvågøy, Lofoten archipelago, Nordland, boasts of a majestic natural scenery formed by tall mountains and the nearby waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, plus a truly worldwide unique football stadium.
The Henningsvær Stadion is quite special because of the following three aspects:
- It has no seats for spectators
- It is used for amateur football
- As a foreign player, you'd probably get more mesmerised by the surrounding landscapes than interested in the proper game
This tiny Norwegian sport venue grew largely in popularity on the world wide web approximately two years ago, when an elevated view of the stadium was pubished on www.imgur.com and gathered hundreds of thousand of views in, frankly speaking, a record time.
Quite many people might not agree on it as being 'world's most awesome football stadium' (as it has no seats), but the landscapes in its proximity are totally worth the experience, even for an amateur/friendly game! What are your thoughts?
