We showcase every stadium that has hosted a Men's FIFA World Cup Final. We'll see what they looked like then and what they look like now. Thanks for watching!
Hey, great videos, could u do a top 10 or 20 Ex-Yu stadiums? Or Balkan stadiums? They're mostly old and beaten but have some charm to them... overall football infrastructure here is bad but that makes for a great video, also Croatia made it to the 2nd place last WC, and we don't even have a decent stadium. I'm sorry i also posted this comm on another your video ;)
My family vacationed in Europe in 2008 and you could just walk around Munich’s Olympic Park for free. We ended up wandering into the suite section of The Olympiastadion, saw this extremely long foosball table in it and played it 😂
The next Bundesliga season will have some of the most historical, largest and crowd attracting stadiums in it. Would love to see a video from yours about it
A word of warning: early in WrestleMania's history, they were inside indoor arenas; nowadays (at least since the late 1990s or early 2000s), they've been in outdoor venues.
The Nou Camp in 1982 hosted the opening game of the tournament in Spain. A decent compromise if you ask me, after all the final was held in the nation's capital. Not only that but in my opinion iv'e always considered The Bernabeu to be a better staduim anyway.
No it wasn't. It has no roof, so no protection against the sun, plus it lacks modern facilities. The 1994 WC Final should have been held at either the RFK Memorial stadium in Washington DC, or at the old Giants stadium in New Jersey. The Rose Bowl wasn't suited to football at all - being an old athletics stadium with seats not steeply raked like in a football stadium. Making it hard for people to see the action the further back they were sitting. It's why it wasn't selected for hosting matches at the 2026 WC. It didn't meet strict FIFA criteria. Plus having no HD LED screen made it impossible to host WC matches aswell - what with goal replays and VAR decisions.
In a little over a week, we'll find out the venues for the 2026 FIFA World Cup held in USA/Canada/Mexico. Perhaps we'll find out the venue for the final then, which is rumored to be Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. Though IIRC Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX is also being considered.
Can you please do the AHL arenas? It would be nice because you did the G-League stadiums, and you still have a bit of time because the championship isnt until next week-ish.
I love how you going from pronouncing something very “English” then pronounce the next word in an almost perfect accent. Deutschland to Olympiastadion.
The 2026 World Cup final will likely be held at MetLife Stadium in New York City (East Rutherford, New Jersey to be absolutely accurate, only 5 miles west of NYC). That venue has been the hot favorite for a while.
Stade de Colombes: no mention of that venue hosting that titanic clash in 1944 when a bunch of PoWs played a match against the Nazis. From 4-1 down at half time they equalised thanks to Pele’s bicycle kick and Stallone saving a penalty. John Huston even filmed the documentary of this match. I think there was an escape of the footballing PoWs. Max Von Sydow didn’t mind. Michael Caine couldn’t run. John Wark took the piss. Anyway it’s all history and lost in the sands of time
following the 2022 world cup the final will most likely be in the SoFi stadium, even though it would be cool if the Azteca hosted it, I don't think the US will let the most expensive stadium in the world be unused and I'm ok with it, sofi is a really cool stadium
estadio monumental in argentina is actually going now through major renovations and the renovations look actually pretty cool and they are getting rid of the track iirc
Liverpool fans like the Stade de France, just not the police outside deliberately trying to cause crushes and using tear gas indiscriminately and pointing guns at them. Real Madrid fans had the same issues. The Parisien Police and UEFA must be held accountable for actively trying to cause another Hillsborough type disaster. There were similar problems with the rugby there the following weekend.
You forgot about the 2026 World Cup Final (which is in another video), but that match is slated to take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ (near New York City).
Would love to see you take a look at esports venues (good ones to look at first in no particular order: CSGO, League Of Legends, Valorant, Call Of Duty, Dota 2, Overwatch & StarCraft 2)
It will be interesting to see which city in 2026 will host the last game of that World Cup. It's either SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles or AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.
It's most likely going to be MetLife Stadium in New York City (East Rutherford, New Jersey to be absolutely accurate, 5 miles west of NYC). That has been the hot favorite for a while
Another final defiantly has to happen at Wembley for a wc because it’s just so iconic within football same with old Trafford which might not be big enough but always iconic
Yuppers! Bidding regulations mandate it. As with the Olympics although for Brisbane 2032 and moving forward it's been lowered to 55K for sustainability/existing stadia reasons... That allows plenty of formerly marginal cities to bid like... EDMONTON! Who ironically tried to land 2008 before Toronto and Mel Lastman shit the bed on that one with his boiling alive in a pot comment... CLASSY! Hope that dude is roasting like a chicken at Swiss Chalet in hell now!
1970 The Boys from Brazil the World Cup that all try to measure up to ! 2003 England beating Australia on their home field in the last few seconds 😂 Oh I may have mixed up my World Cups there , can’t think how that happened!! 2023 France , going to a cracking World Cup
And had the latest Euro final been played at Loftus Road England would prob have won after Stan Bowles scored a hat trick followed by an equal number of moonies to the away crowd.
Sorry to say but Croatia is actualy way bigger then Netherlands so it isn't the smallest country since Uruguay to reach the final. It is actualy 15 000 square km bigger
Not gonna lie, I prefer football/soccer/track and field stadiums that are used for all 3 during the same season plus concerts. Munich, Berlin and Paris being amongst my favourites... Also biased since Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton is my home team's venue and the also largest and one of the most well used stadiums in Canada. For a facility built for the 1978 Commonwealth Games it's still a decent a modern venue.. Although It does need updating on the concourses.. And an ETFE roof! The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup weather delay proved that point nicely with be ending up both wet from the thunder storms and anxious from an storm-addled crowed both drunk and fearful because of some historical events in the city in the 1980's which killed 27 people in about 45 minutes... I also happen(ed) to be one of those people myself...
Still ticked that even in the 2026 United Bid is still really about the USA... Sales figures of CONCACAF show there's only really a handful of reliable cities that show up for events like this... Mexico City... EDMONTON! Shit we had 45,000+ people sitting in -25c to watch a critical game to get into this years cup. If that isn't dedication I dunno what is... Btw, it's currently +27-29C here so it's not like cold's an issue during the summers... In fact heat stroke is increasingly an annual killer here because of bravado and a lack of hydration beyond beer...
Yeah I’m American and I have absolutely zero idea why Mexico and Canada were included in the bid when 90% of the games are gonna be in the USA 😂 Mexico has obviously hosted two already so maybe even just Canada and USA would’ve been better or just Canada hosts by itself sometime
"4 years after they invaded their neighbor...", "And it looks pretty much the same, with the exception of Z plastered all over it... ". We don't learn from history, so we're doomed to repeat it.
Czechoslovakia and Hungary being runners up. both were legendary teams of their time but history has forgotten them based on one match. savage. same for the netherlands. they've had multiple legendary squads and have two runners up to show for it. history will not be kind again.
Czechoslovakia was runner up twice as well. 1934 and 1962. One was the most political world cup ever, despite the fact that Italy had a good team. In the other they faced Brazil. A brazilian squad with Garrincha being the devilish genius that he always was as a player and Amarildo being, as us here in Brazil call him, possessed* while replacing Pelé. * Amarildo was by no means a bad player or had demons of any sort. He was just unfortunate to be on what is likely the greatest generation of players produced here, any other generation before or after and he would be a starter. If not for Pele's injury against Czechoslovakia in the group round he likely wouldn't play. But he was the best replacement anyone could ask for
@@otaviofrn_adv i love football history. your Brazil teams from the 60s and 70s were easily the best teams we've ever seen. you're so lucky to have that cemented into your history. in England we never wear other national team shirts, it's almost illegal. but the yellow of Brazil is always allowed.
@@mowvu5380 Brazil is well respected. Sometimes more by foreigners than by our own fans. We demand a super high level, both on playing and personality. An exemption can be waived for the personality if the playing is out of this world (e.g: Romário). We have a fertile ground for football that no other nation have, that's for sure. We have a passion as big as our country area. Ok, the southeast and south are the most developed parts of the country when we talk about economics, but a great player can come from anywhere, we have almost 6 thousand possibilities among cities, towns and villages. The most common thing is a kid going away from his hometown when someone discovers him, many players never played for a team in their home state (like the US of A, we have states. But 27 instead of 50). The best example is Pelé himself, he was born in Minas Gerais (their state capital, Belo Horizonte, hosted that game against Germany in 2014) but played in the state of São Paulo (in Santos, a seaside town. But they played many games in the city of São Paulo as well and even in Rio due to their massive demand). About the greatest teams, well... that's always a massive argument. You put 60's and 70's, they are in the conversation. It's the generation that won the first three. But the generation of my father especially (he is 53) includes the 1982 World Cup team as well. It's the most unfortunate thing ever that they never brought the title home. They were loaded in pretty much every front, with the major changes people suggested (the replacement of Waldir Peres on goal and Reinaldo instead of Serginho as a striker) it would be even more loaded. And their HC was the best we've ever produced, the very much missed Telê Santana. If you make a historical starting 11 list with a HC and don't choose him, you're doing it wrong
@@otaviofrn_adv it's crazy that the passion is everything. in england we train our kids very early, but it's too structured and organised. we don't let the kids kick the ball higher than head height, zero contact, no heading, very little technical training. it's all fitness and 5 a side. and we have the kids using an adult ball. i think i have seen Brazilian kids using smaller balls for better technique and control. I've watched many documentaries on why Brazil is traditionally so good at football. and yes if a player has a bad ego, it is very damaging. romario was a sick finisher and it was ok. but personally i am not a fan of neymar. he thinks he is bigger than football and bigger than Brazil. what a terrible insult to your nation. i hope he retires quick and you can get some humble superstars again. just my opinion sorry if i offended you. we have lost what it was to be a soccer/football player here. to play on the streets in ripped shoes and to have a poor quality ball means you over compensate when you actually have good things. i always have followed santos because of pelé. my favourite Brazil club. i love their small stadium and the history. i only know of the 60s and 70s because my dad was a big lover of Brazilian national teams. he said when he was a young man that he had never seen anything in his life like Brazil in the 60s. he made me watch garincha, jairzinho, pele, gerson, rivelinho, tostao and i could not believe this football from the 60s and 70s was better than what i was watching in the 90s lol. sorry for the bad spelling of those legend's names.
@@mowvu5380 no problem on the spelling. You're not a native and portuguese is a tough language for foreigners, much tougher than english. And you don't have the graphic signs " ´ " and " ~ " on your board. Considering this, your mistakes were the lack of another r in Garrincha and Rivelino (you put an "h" more) About Neymar, his game is right, his head is not. He has too many people bloodsucking on him and does nothing about it, even his father can be included. That stops him from truly growing, because when his mind is right he can be a top 5 in the world. If you wanna see him with a good head watch the 2011 Libertadores Cup final when he was still 19 and was the best player in the field that day. About the future now: for the next cycle, starting after the World Cup, watch for two guys that I truly hope to be the next greats brazilians anywhere: Endrick and Vitor Roque. Endrick is a guy that has no weak points in front of the net or far from it. He passes the ball like the best midfielders and finishes like the best strikers. An authentic danger to any defense. Also, his mind is far older than his age (16). Just signed his first pro contract with a buying clause of 60 million euros for the richest clubs (top 6 from the Premier League, Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, Bayern), and so far he is worth every dime. My team had a shot to have him in our academy, but we have a president who is a descendant of Scrooge McDuck. Our next door rival, Palmeiras, got him. Why? Endrick came from a very poor area in Brasília, our nation's capital, and under law he could not be sent to a club dorm (he was first found by clubs when he was 11 or 12 I think), and his family couldn't move. Palmeiras paid for his family to move to São Paulo and gave a job in the club for his father to have him in their academy, which is recovering it's historical greatness. Vitor Roque is 17 and already a reality. You probably did not heard much about him because he is a player of Athlético Paranaense, a club that doesn't have much of a media surrounding them, but is really well managed. Cruzeiro, in all of it's bad management, let him out without earning nothing. And the kid is scoring beauties game in and game out, just put his club in the semifinal of the Libertadores (our equivalent to the UCL) last night, for the first time since the year he was born. In a year the european fans will hear about those two, I really hope.
I'm saying it right now, the 2026 World Cup Final will be held in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Argentina and Messi finally win over France in the final 2-0.
The MetLife Stadium in New York City (East Rutherford, NJ to be absolutely accurate) will likely host the final. It's been the hot favorite for a while.
The 1974 (Munich), 1994 (Los Angeles), 2002 (Yokohama, which is close to Tokyo), 2010 (Johannesburg, which is close to Pretoria) and 2014 (Rio) WC finals weren't held in the capital cities. The 1950 match was when Rio was the capital of Brazil, and the 1982 final was held in Madrid, which is the capital of Spain.
I really wish Wembley Stadium was hosting this upcoming world cup instead of the lantern stadium. Qatar never deserved it and obviously paid their way to hosting this upcoming world cup. It's a travesty. And it's a travesty that the country that invented soccer has only hosted the world cup one time. It's ridiculous.
FIFA cannot steal enough money, the politicians in England wouldn't open their legs to give massive discounts on taxes. Events like this, there is one rule: if there is a profit, it goes to the organizer (FIFA). If there are losses, the people in the country pay for them. England is way too developed as a country to host a World Cup
@@otaviofrn_adv Well... What about the USA? They are jointly hosting the next one. I think it's just FIFA hating the English. Or maybe they just decided to give the next one to the USA joint bid to try and make themselves look better. Idk.
Not the biggest soccer fan but loved seeing the arrogant host country, Brazier, whom seemed to think a win in their country was their right, loose to my DEUTSCHLAND squad 7 - 0 in the semis. LOS DEUTSCHLAND!! Zu sehen, wie die brasilianische Mannschaft viele Tränen vergoss, also sich das Spiel dem Ende zuneigte, war unbezahlbar!

@@mowvu5380 Brazil is well respected. Sometimes more by foreigners than by our own fans. We demand a super high level, both on playing and personality. An exemption can be waived for the personality if the playing is out of this world (e.g: Romário).
We have a fertile ground for football that no other nation have, that's for sure. We have a passion as big as our country area.
Ok, the southeast and south are the most developed parts of the country when we talk about economics, but a great player can come from anywhere, we have almost 6 thousand possibilities among cities, towns and villages. The most common thing is a kid going away from his hometown when someone discovers him, many players never played for a team in their home state (like the US of A, we have states. But 27 instead of 50). The best example is Pelé himself, he was born in Minas Gerais (their state capital, Belo Horizonte, hosted that game against Germany in 2014) but played in the state of São Paulo (in Santos, a seaside town. But they played many games in the city of São Paulo as well and even in Rio due to their massive demand).
About the greatest teams, well... that's always a massive argument. You put 60's and 70's, they are in the conversation. It's the generation that won the first three.
But the generation of my father especially (he is 53) includes the 1982 World Cup team as well. It's the most unfortunate thing ever that they never brought the title home. They were loaded in pretty much every front, with the major changes people suggested (the replacement of Waldir Peres on goal and Reinaldo instead of Serginho as a striker) it would be even more loaded. And their HC was the best we've ever produced, the very much missed Telê Santana.
If you make a historical starting 11 list with a HC and don't choose him, you're doing it wrong
@@otaviofrn_adv it's crazy that the passion is everything. in england we train our kids very early, but it's too structured and organised. we don't let the kids kick the ball higher than head height, zero contact, no heading, very little technical training. it's all fitness and 5 a side. and we have the kids using an adult ball. i think i have seen Brazilian kids using smaller balls for better technique and control. I've watched many documentaries on why Brazil is traditionally so good at football.
and yes if a player has a bad ego, it is very damaging. romario was a sick finisher and it was ok. but personally i am not a fan of neymar. he thinks he is bigger than football and bigger than Brazil. what a terrible insult to your nation. i hope he retires quick and you can get some humble superstars again. just my opinion sorry if i offended you.
we have lost what it was to be a soccer/football player here. to play on the streets in ripped shoes and to have a poor quality ball means you over compensate when you actually have good things.
i always have followed santos because of pelé. my favourite Brazil club. i love their small stadium and the history.
i only know of the 60s and 70s because my dad was a big lover of Brazilian national teams. he said when he was a young man that he had never seen anything in his life like Brazil in the 60s. he made me watch garincha, jairzinho, pele, gerson, rivelinho, tostao and i could not believe this football from the 60s and 70s was better than what i was watching in the 90s lol.
sorry for the bad spelling of those legend's names.
@@mowvu5380 no problem on the spelling. You're not a native and portuguese is a tough language for foreigners, much tougher than english. And you don't have the graphic signs " ´ " and " ~ " on your board. Considering this, your mistakes were the lack of another r in Garrincha and Rivelino (you put an "h" more)
About Neymar, his game is right, his head is not. He has too many people bloodsucking on him and does nothing about it, even his father can be included. That stops him from truly growing, because when his mind is right he can be a top 5 in the world. If you wanna see him with a good head watch the 2011 Libertadores Cup final when he was still 19 and was the best player in the field that day.
About the future now: for the next cycle, starting after the World Cup, watch for two guys that I truly hope to be the next greats brazilians anywhere: Endrick and Vitor Roque.
Endrick is a guy that has no weak points in front of the net or far from it. He passes the ball like the best midfielders and finishes like the best strikers. An authentic danger to any defense. Also, his mind is far older than his age (16). Just signed his first pro contract with a buying clause of 60 million euros for the richest clubs (top 6 from the Premier League, Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, Bayern), and so far he is worth every dime. My team had a shot to have him in our academy, but we have a president who is a descendant of Scrooge McDuck. Our next door rival, Palmeiras, got him. Why? Endrick came from a very poor area in Brasília, our nation's capital, and under law he could not be sent to a club dorm (he was first found by clubs when he was 11 or 12 I think), and his family couldn't move. Palmeiras paid for his family to move to São Paulo and gave a job in the club for his father to have him in their academy, which is recovering it's historical greatness.
Vitor Roque is 17 and already a reality. You probably did not heard much about him because he is a player of Athlético Paranaense, a club that doesn't have much of a media surrounding them, but is really well managed. Cruzeiro, in all of it's bad management, let him out without earning nothing. And the kid is scoring beauties game in and game out, just put his club in the semifinal of the Libertadores (our equivalent to the UCL) last night, for the first time since the year he was born.
In a year the european fans will hear about those two, I really hope.
3:16
😅😅😅😅
2022 wc final is : Uni Soviet 6-9 Dutch East Indies
15:00 how big are the Netherlands
I'm saying it right now, the 2026 World Cup Final will be held in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Argentina and Messi finally win over France in the final 2-0.
By 2026 Messi will be using a walker.
@@janellek21 that would make it even greater!
The MetLife Stadium in New York City (East Rutherford, NJ to be absolutely accurate) will likely host the final. It's been the hot favorite for a while.
I highly doubt it’s in Dallas sorry bro
You can always tell where someone is from by the way they say soccer lmao
The result of the 2022 Final
Human rights 0:1 modern slavery
15:36 Really (Czechoslovakia)Czechia Vs Türkiye(Ottoman Empire)
1/3
Update: ARGENTINA BEAT FRANCE IN PENALTIES
The development around Wembley stadium doesn't look like a good idea - what happens if they want to expand the stadium in the future?
Maybe use smaller players
The final for 2022 will be Argentina and England, going to penalties and England winning
Some of this aged well and some of it didn’t
Olha o nosso presidente Bolsonaro ali no estádio do catar! Mito
até aqui, mas vocês são enjoados mesmo, ta loco
I'll bet Austro-Hungary loses in the next world cup in penalties, just so the Netherlands don't feel lonely anymore at the runner-up table.
All the finals were played in the host country's capital city except for Spain? Come on.
the final in Spain was in Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu
for the rest, I agree
The 1974 (Munich), 1994 (Los Angeles), 2002 (Yokohama, which is close to Tokyo), 2010 (Johannesburg, which is close to Pretoria) and 2014 (Rio) WC finals weren't held in the capital cities. The 1950 match was when Rio was the capital of Brazil, and the 1982 final was held in Madrid, which is the capital of Spain.
２００２年決勝の横浜のスタジアム。。地元として恥ずかしい。。
日本は残念ながらアンチフットボールの人達が権力握っておりまして時代遅れの巨大陸上競技場が大都市に鎮座しております。。
５０年後でしょうか横浜のスタジアムがまともなフットボールスタジアムに大規模改修されるのは。。
I really wish Wembley Stadium was hosting this upcoming world cup instead of the lantern stadium. Qatar never deserved it and obviously paid their way to hosting this upcoming world cup. It's a travesty. And it's a travesty that the country that invented soccer has only hosted the world cup one time. It's ridiculous.
FIFA cannot steal enough money, the politicians in England wouldn't open their legs to give massive discounts on taxes.
Events like this, there is one rule: if there is a profit, it goes to the organizer (FIFA). If there are losses, the people in the country pay for them.
England is way too developed as a country to host a World Cup
@@otaviofrn_adv Well... What about the USA? They are jointly hosting the next one. I think it's just FIFA hating the English. Or maybe they just decided to give the next one to the USA joint bid to try and make themselves look better. Idk.
@@SuperSirianRigel one every few to hide the policy
I hope Ottoman Empire at least makes it to the semis
To bad the Swedish Empire didn't qualify, knocked out by the Russians.
@@beorlingoRed or white Russians?
Australia 2034 soon
USA 7 - France 0
I hope you're not a gambling man.
Calling the 2022 final: Brazil 2 - 1 France
I agree on teams but would have France 3-1 winners.
Don't appreciate your comments regarding the Dutch
Not the biggest soccer fan but loved seeing the arrogant host country, Brazier, whom seemed to think a win in their country was their right, loose to my DEUTSCHLAND squad 7 - 0 in the semis. LOS DEUTSCHLAND!!
Zu sehen, wie die brasilianische Mannschaft viele Tränen vergoss, also sich das Spiel dem Ende zuneigte, war unbezahlbar!
*lose
@@beorlingo Among other mistakes
Too bad this one coming up will be held in worst country ever

Really bad comments and edition 👎🏽
Yours is the bad comment. You being the bad edition.
