Man Utd has confirmed plans to build a beautiful 100,000 -seater stadium near Old Trafford.
The vision, invoiced by Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the 'Wembley of the North', costs a stunning £ 2 billion to create.
United has ambitiously proposed that it will be completed within five years.
While the wrestling club will finance the land itself, while the British government will help support the regeneration of the Trafford Park area around the stadium.
The planned Stadium of United would be the largest in the UK – catching up Wembley, which has a capacity of 90,000.
However, how does it relate to football stages around the world? Sunsport does the song that is crackling to tell you the biggest all over the world.
10. Estadio Azteca, 90,000
Located in Mexico City, the Azteca is the home of Club America and the national team of Mexico.
It is the largest stadium in Latin -America and is located at an altitude of 7,200 feet above sea level.
Thinked in history, it has organized two World Cup final – one won by Pele, another Van Diego Maradona.
It also organized the notorious England vs Argentina 1986 World Cup competition, where Maradona scored the 'Hand of Goal', as well as the 'goal of the century'.
It is currently being renovated to expand its seats from 87,523 prior to the 2026 World Cup.
9. Wembley Stadium, 90,652
The home of football, Wembley is the Mecca of English football.
The national team plays there, playing the cup final and play-offs, while Oasis plays seven sold-out concerts from the summer.
It is currently the largest stadium in the UK and the second largest in Europe.
The stadium was built by the Australian company plyplex for an amount of £ 798 million – opening its gates in 2007.
Fun fact; It has the largest roof covered seat capacity in the world.
8. King Salman International Stadium, 92,000
In its children's phases, the King Salman International Stadium is presented as the largest stadium in Saudi Arabia.
It will host the 2034 World Cup final, which takes place in the amazing Riyad location.
Designed by Architecture Studio Populous, it will have a capacity for 92,000 spectators.
Population revealed: “The stadium will merge with its surrounding topography, where terrain and natural habitat are part of the roof of the stadium.
“Apart from its aesthetic attraction, this design offers effective shadow and ventilation tailored to the desert climate.”
7. Lusail stage, 92,349
Construction started at the Lusail Stadium of Qatar in 2017 and it only organized three friendly competitions before it opened for competitions at the World Cup 2022.
It is cooled with solar energy and it is claimed that it has zero CO2 footprint.
However, there are plans for the stadium to be configured again in a stadium with 40,000 seats.
Excess seats are removed and other parts of the building are reused as a community room with shops, cafés, athletics and education facilities and a health clinic.
6. FNB Stadium, 94,736
Nicknamed the gourd, it is the home of football and rugby union.
The South Africa National teams of both sport use it, while the South African first division team Kaizer Chiefs also plays there.
Unbelievable, the chiefs keep the record rise about the current capacity, from 94,807 for a match against the Orlando Pirates.
Again, it is a location that is steeped in history.
It was the site of the first speech by Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg after his release from prison in 1990, and served as a location for a memorial service to him on December 10, 2013.
5. Misr Stadium, 96,940
The Misr Stadium is the accession of Egypt to the procedure.
It is part of the Egypt International Olympic City, a large sports complex that has been under construction since 2015.
It will have a training field, two covered halls (one of them an arena of 15,000 capacity), an Olympic swimming pool and other buildings.
This is being built in view of the possible bids of the country for the Olympic Games or the World Cup.
4. The new stadium of Man Utd, 100,000
The stadium is set by architects at Foster and Partners and would contain an umbrella design and a new public square that is “twice as large for Trafalgar Square”.
Three gigantic towers, inspired by the trident of the Red Devils, will dominate the skyline and keep the “umbrella” up – a sweeping glass and steel canopy above those fans will keep what the largest stadium of Great -Britain would be.
Their own version of Wembley Way, surrounded by trees, would extend from outside the current Holy Trinity statue, far into the existing Old Trafford with land that is currently being used for a parking space and freight terminal behind the Stretford end that came in to play.
3. Camp Nou, 105,000
Barcelona is currently reconstructing the Camp Nou to turn it into the largest stadium in Europe.
They have invested a stunning £ 1.25 billion in the project, which will increase the capacity to 105,000.
It would be completed on time for the 125th anniversary of the club last November.
However, there has been a new delay, according to the Spanish sports news site Relo, who report that the earliest return is now planned as October 2025.
While the report adds that the roof of the stadium is only installed in the summer of 2026.
2. Hassan II Stadium, 115,000
In anticipation of 2028, the Hassan II stadium of Morocco will be the largest stadium in Africa.
It is named after the late King Hassan II, who ruled from 1961 to 1999.
The proposed Hassan II stadium was used as a negotiating ship, when Morocco had ambitions to organize the World Cup 2010, then 2026 World Cup.
They both lost bids, but will now share the tournament with Spain and Portugal in 2030.
The estimated costs are around £ 400 million, which seems fairly cheap for the time being, but will certainly increase.
1. The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, 150,000
The Rungrado 1 May Stadium in North Korea is the largest in the world.
Officially it can hold on to a maximum of 113,281 spectators.
After a renovation of 2014 with the replacement of some seats with individual seats, observers estimate the capacity to be lower than the original build.
Nevertheless, it was confirmed in 2022, if they wish, the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium can still be expanded for housing 150,000 fans.
It was first opened in 1989, currently used for football matches, a few athletics events and mostly for the Mass Games of the Arirang Festival.
The North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un held a New Year's Eve party from 2022 on the site, while he also had political speeches there.
