Allianz Arena, Munich - stylishly-designed home of FC Bayern Munich (capacity 71,137);
Wembley, London - venue for England national team games (capacity 90,000);
Maracana, Rio de Janeiro - the old version was decaying, but will be renewed for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil (capacity 82,238);
Estadio da Luz, Lisbon - Benfica stadium rebuilt for Euro 2004 (capacity 65,647);
Old Trafford, Manchester - the 'Theatre of Dreams' housing Manchester United FC (capacity 75,765);
La Bombonera, Buenos Aires - atmospheric, steep-sided cauldron of Boca Juniors (capacity 40,318);
