List of association football stadiums by capacity

They are ordered by their seating capacity, that is the maximum number of spectators that the stadium can accommodate in seated areas.

Football stadiums with a capacity of 40,000 or more are included.

That is the minimum capacity required for a stadium to host FIFA World Cup finals matches.

Note that most sports venues with a capacity of at least 40,000 are used for association football.

Some stadiums are only used by a team for certain high attendance matches, like local derbies or cup games.
