Sporting venues; Football (Soccer, Association football)

This panoramic collection showcases stadiums, venues, and pitches, from the quirky to the historic, covering both men s and women s leagues, professional to amateur, wherever the game is played with enthusiasm and great style.

For those who love the sport, either from birthright or from newly kindled passion, there s a distinct and beloved resonance and local character to each stadium. This is one of soccer s great charms, and this book is a road map to a pilgrimage to 1000 arenas that anyone in love with the beautiful game would want to visit in person: some visionary and new, some ageing but iconic, some remote yet picturesque, some tumbledown, quirky yet historical and utterly lovable but all with such genuine personality, the fans

hearts beat a little faster to see a match there.

This book covers the world and the game, from well-known shrines to amateur venues; from the Faroe Islands to Argentina s storied La Bombonera. Along the way, it gives the reader the feeling of being at the game, immersed in the crowd experience whether it be a rabid 100,000 national fans cheering their team or watching with two men and a dog in the Scottish Highlands.
