It's not about Santiago Bernabéu. The same was true for Old Trafford, Camp Nou, Anfield or the Amsterdam Arena. Stadium Database, a Polish website specializing in world stadiums in 2021, set a vote for the best stage of the last year, and the results were surprising.
Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades (Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades) of Santiago del Estero was considered the second best on the planet in an election that left El Sadar de Osasuna, the first division of Spanish football.
The Santiageno Colosseum scored 13,207 points for 41,415 of the House of the Cast of Navarra, a widespread winner of the poll. The third place among the 23 nominations was Banco Guayaquil (Banco Guayaquil) in Quito, Ecuador, who played the local Independiente del Valle (13,154 points).
“This year's public vote includes solid candidates to host the FIFA World Cup in a matter of months, including three stadiums in Qatar. However, as in last year, when Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Malaysia ended first, we did not expect a huge advantage between the winner and the next place on the podium.” They emphasized in the organization.
“With strong and numerous candidates from Turkey and the United States, Spanish fans had to do their best to win the stadium in our competition. That's how it happened, and Navarra fans had no doubt.” He continued to make statements about the polls in which almost 13,000 participants participated.
The survey is conducted annually, and stadiums built or renovated during the season, taking into account various aspects of the infrastructure, are part of the stadium.And Madre de Ciudades opened on March 4, 2021, with a match of River Plate and Racing Club for the Argentina Super Cup.
The surprising thing is that the most exotic and least thought places were considered. For example, the National Stadium of Morodok Teko in Cambodia took 6th place, Stade Omni Sport Paul Biya in Cameroon took 9th place, and Yeni Ordu Stadiumu in Turkey took 11th place. Meanwhile, the Al Madina Stadium in Iraq took 17th place, and the Stade Olympik Doran in Algeria took 18th place.
The final five winners are Vodafone Arena in Istanbul (Turkey, 2016), General Pablo Rojas Stadium in Asuncion (Paraguay, 2017), Volgograd Arena in Volbograd (Russia, 2018), Puskas Arena in Budapest (Hungary, 2019), and Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri (Malaysia, 2020).
