Interesting places you have been to watch live football

kakee

Intersting to see what parts of the world people have been to watch live football. I remember a few years ago on holiday in America we went to watch the mighty Kansas City Wizards play. I think it was the 2005 season and Precki was still playing. I remember the were giving out free tickets for the game outside the ground.

EuskalHerria

Seen Sligo Rovers playing against Vllaznia in Albania.

dor83

Saw Boca play Guarani in the Libertadores at Bombonera and Vasco v Flamengo at Maracana.

gandalf

Yokohama Stadium in Japan to see Ireland vs Saudi Arabia. One hell of an experience that trip

Dancor

Celtic V Brisbane Roar in the Suncorp stadium, Brisbane.
Highest attendance for a ''soccer'' game in Australia apparently, I think it was about 35,000 there.

Saint_Mel

Went to see the Tórshavn Derby ... B36 v HB at Gundadalur Stadium while I was in the Faroe Islands for the WC Qualifier in 2005

Seen Karlskrona AIF play someone at Västra Mark in the Swedish 4th Division a few years ago when I was over there for work.

Lived in Australia for a bit about 7 years ago and used to go to see Sydney Olympic play. That league was disbanded a yearor so later in favour of the A-League. Olympic still exist and play in the NSW Premier League.

I saw UD Lanzarote play in Ciudad Deportiva in Arrecife, Lanzarote.
This was last season when theey were in the Segunda Division B, they were elegated and now play in Tercera Division - Group 12.:(
They were the whipping boys of the league, but they won when I was there.:D
They had bucket seats made of stone and they were very uncomfortable and roasting hot from the sun.
They had a class mascot and there was a crazy auld fella that kept shouting walking down to the barriers and kicking and pucnhing the metal advertisement boards.:pac:

/life story.

The A-League isn't an exciting one for me cause I pretty much go every second week to watch Perth Glory.

Saw Chicago Fire play at Soldier Field in the final season before they moved to the new Bridgeview Stadium.

Most random venue for a game is Vanuatu's national stadium in the country's capital, Port Vila.

CiaranC

Juve vs Rovers a few weeks ago in Modena.
Went to a few Real Santander games, and Ive seen Real Mallorca play at home.
I get a couple of AS Cannes games a year in (League National - French Division 3)
Attended Toronto FC while I was living there, and seen Canada play at home
Similarly, went along to Melbourne Victory when I lived there
Stood among the Torcida at Hadjuk Split a couple of years back, was awesome
A couple more places in Europe too

River v Boca in the Monumental. Most awesome atmosphere i've ever experienced!
Lazio v Juve in stadio olimpico in a friendly. There was nothing friendly about that evening.
Atleti v Real Mallorca in the Calderon. great seeing Torres in the flesh, some player.
FC Utrecht v NEC Nimjegan(sp?) in the Galgenward. About halfway through the first half i started wondering what i was doing in Utrecht on a saturday afternoon watchin a dutch mid-table scrap! PS got to see van Wolfswinkel play and score:D

The first match I ever saw was Coimbra against Bahrain in Coimbra. A league side against a national side, quite an interesting experience. If I remember correctly Coimbra won.

Reganio 2

Some Portuguese team against some other Portuguese team just down the road from the hotel, it was a proper stadium that looked like it was in a hole in the ground it was so far down. No idea who won, but it was fun and quenched my football thirst.

losthorizon

I'm an Ajax member (you have to become a club member to go to a club game in Holland) and went to see Ajax vs NEC.

Also went to a third division game between Koblenz and Bayern Munich Reserves in Germany.

The most memorable game was defo Red Star Belgrade v Cork City. Watched the game in the Red Star section with some serbian fans who I had met in Belgrade. Ive been to see games in Iceland, Lithuania and Sweden as well.

Very true. I was at Quinn's testimonial at the Stadium of Light. Miserable place is Sunderland, and that's being generous.

Also went to Japan back in the summer of 2006. Saw Tokyo vs Kashima Antlers. Not really comparable in regards to interesting places as the first part of my post

Paparazzo

I saw a double header of Guinea v Morocco and Ghana v Namibia in Accra, Ghana. It was an African cup of nations game, ticket cost €4. Thought I would probably be the only Irish person there till I saw some white guy hang up a Bohs flag
