The passion for football leads to stadiums being built in the most unpredictable places and in the most unbelievable ways.

THE FLOAT STADIUM

4

KRAMYRA STADIUM

This university stadium is located in Toluca and its stands are reminiscent of the old "Peineta"... like the current stadium of Atlético Madrid.

The home ground of the Union Sportive Marseille. It has buildings nearby where you can watch the game.  This is handy as it has no stands!

OTTMAR HITZFELD

12

TIMSAH ARENA

Turkey - 43,300 capacity

It was built in 2015 and, although not named as per number 11 on our list, it is likely the only major stadium shaped like a crocodile.
