This is one of soccer’s great charms, and this book is a road map to a pilgrimage to 1000 arenas that anyone in love with the beautiful game would want to visit in person: some visionary and new, some ageing but iconic, some remote yet picturesque, some tumbledown, quirky yet historical and utterly lovable—but all with such genuine personality, the fans’ hearts beat a little faster to see a match there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book covers the world and the game, from well-known shrines to amateur venues; from the Faroe Islands to Argentina’s storied La Bombonera. Along the way, it gives the reader the feeling of being at the game, immersed in the crowd experience—whether it be a rabid 100,000 national fans cheering their team or watching with two men and a dog in the Scottish Highlands.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57696428327294,"sku":"NW9780789345820","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780789345820.jpg?v=1785105800","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/world-atlas-of-football-stadiums","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
