With the world having much love for football, the need for better and bigger stadiums has always resulted in some iconic infrastructures, several of which have become world’s best stadiums. If you are unaware of where these beautiful stadiums are located, below is the top ten list of football stadiums in the world.

10. Soccer City, South Africa

Opened in 1989, the First National Bank Stadium—known as Soccer City—was renovated in 2009 ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Although it is home to South African club side Kaizer Chiefs, the stadium is fondly remembered for hosting the showpiece event of the 2010 WC-final, but also for hosting the opening game and goal of the tournament—Siphiwe Tshabalala finding the back of the Mexican net with a thumping effort.
The incessant noise of the vuvuzela can prove hard to ignore, but it should take nothing away from a truly wonderful football stadium.

9. The Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro

The Maracanã is one of the most notable stadiums in world football, situated in one of the most beautiful cities throughout the world.

The stadium hosted the 1950 decisive World Cup group-stage match (there was no final that year) between Brazil and Uruguay that saw a staggering capacity of 199,854. Although the hosts tasted bitter defeat, the match will go down as one of the classics in the game's history.

8. San Siro, Italy

Known as the San Siro, the multipurpose stadium is home to two football heavyweights and archrivals AC Milan and Internazionale. It is the country's most famous and largest ground.
With some of the game's greatest footballers gracing its pitch and having hosted European Cup and Champions League finals, the San Siro is one of the most revered and respected stadiums in the world. It can carry 80,018 people and is designed in such a manner so as to give every spectator maximum visibility regardless of where he may be seated.

7. Anfield Road, United Kingdom

Though not a huge stadium in terms of capacity by any means (Capacity: 45,276), the legendary atmosphere at Anfield known throughout the world makes the home of Liverpool one of the great stadiums.

Home to the Reds, who have won five European Cup titles, Anfield is always a treat for members of any visiting team, though it continues to instil fear into any opposition. From the famous “This Is Anfield” sign hanging in the tunnel, to the passionate home fans singing "You'll Never Walk Alone," Anfield will forever be a favourite amongst players and fans alike.

6. Santiago Bernabeu, Spain

The Santiago Bernabeu is home to one of Europe's most successful club. Real Madrid's place in the upper echelons of world football is secure, and there could be no more fitting venue for such a club to play.

Originally opened in 1947, the Santiago Bernabeu has since been renovated twice—in 1982 and 2001—in order to match the ambitions of the Galacticos. The stadium has been home to many of the world's greatest players over the years, with the likes of Ferenc Puskas, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo all strutting their stuff in the famous ground.
Though overshadowed by the Camp Nou's capacity, the Santiago Bernabeu has always been a first pick when it comes to hosting football events and, due to its prestige, is likely to do so for years to come.

5. Azteca – Mexico

Mexico City's Estadio Azteca is renowned for its huge capacity(104,000) and electric atmosphere when full, but it will go down in history as the only stadium to host two World Cup finals.

Unfortunately for England fans, it is also the venue for Diego Maradona's infamous “Hand of God” goal.

The venue may not be fondly remembered by the enormity of England fans, but there is no denying that the stadium—the third-largest football stadium in the world—is one of the finest around.

4. Camp Nou, Spain

The Camp Nou is Europe's largest football stadium(Capacity: 98,757) and is home to one of the great football teams. Barcelona's motto “mes que un club” (more than a club) is iconic throughout the footballing world, and their stadium is a huge part of everything Barcelona stands for.

The capacity of the Camp Nou once eclipsed 120,000 for the 1982 World Cup finals, but due to changes in laws regarding standing in stadiums, it has now been reduced.
