25 greatest football stadiums around world, from the Bernabeu to San Mames… but Tottenham’s £1bn ground down in 21
ATMOSPHERE, capacity and the quality of the toilets are all taken into consideration when fans argue about the best stadiums in the world.
And a poll to determine which ground holds that honour has revealed some surprising results.
Tottenham splashed out a staggering £1BILLION on their new North London home which currently ranks just 21st despite being the most expensive stadium ever built.
But surprisingly, it’s a stadium in Egypt that sits in the No 1 spot.
Here SunSport reveals the results of a poll conducted by Spanish outlet Marca in 2020.
