Float at Marina Bay, Singapore

The floating stadium is located on the waters of Marina Bay in Singapore. Built in 2007, the Marina Bay Floating Platform is the world's most massive floating stage. The stadium hosts not only football matches but also other large-scale sports tournaments and cultural events. The Float at Marina Bay has a seating capacity of about 30,000. The stadium consists of a floating stage and a grandstand along the shore.

Cierny Balog stadium, Slovakia

The stadium in Cierny Balog, Slovakia, is the only stadium in the world with a pair of live railway tracks cutting across it. Its main stand is separated from the field by the railway line. On the one hand, it sometimes causes inconvenience to football fans who come to see a match as trains run there right during tournaments. On the other hand, it is a really impressive sight.

Estadio Hernando Siles, Bolivia

Unlike the two previous stadiums that got their names from their geolocations, this one is named after Hernando Siles Reyes, a Bolivian politician who ruled the country from 1926 to 1930. To show the greatness of one of Bolivia's most popular presidents, a stadium with a capacity of 40,000 seats was built in La Paz at an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest stadiums in the world. Local football teams are used to the specific conditions of this site, but their visiting rivals often have to use oxygen tanks in between matches.

Municipal Stadium of Braga, Portugal

The Portuguese consider the stadium one of the most unique structures in the country. Having a capacity of 30,000 seats, the Municipal Stadium of Braga was carved in a mountain. A huge rock had to be removed to make it part of the landscape. The construction of the stadium lasted for two years and cost €80 million. It was officially opened in 2003 to host the UEFA European Championship. The stadium is the current home of Sporting Clube de Braga.

Voždovac Stadium, Serbia

This small 5,000-seat stadium would be quite an ordinary site if not for its extraordinary location. In order to save space, a football stadium was built on the roof of a shopping and entertainment center. The project cost €20 million. Local residents are very proud of this building and consider it one of the main attractions in Belgrade.
