Have been in Salvador for four days and only ten minutes in a cab from Vitoria's ground. Unfortunately I could not pop in and take photos of the ground as they were training for a game the following day, last Saturday. The area is a bit iffy as it is stuck on the edge of a favela.
This is the old stadium named after Josy Barthels, who won Luxembourg’s first and, so far, only Olympic gold medal (1500m at the Helsinki games). The stadium was opened in 1931 and although renovated over the years was quite a grim place to watch a match. Capacity a little over 8.000.
This is the new Stade de Luxembourg which was opened in 2021. Capacity a little under 10.000.
Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland (up until this season, normally only used for rugby league and a bit of rugby union). A-League's 'Kiwi Clasico' between Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix (NZ derby in the Australian A-League).
And yes, there’s an inflatable slide, plus a bouncy castle behind one of the goals. They make an effort to cater to kids—whose short attention spans can be a challenge, especially with a low-scoring game compared to the rugby they’re used to—given that this isn’t really a football country.
Earlier in the season, they decided to build a beach behind one of the goals. Very weird, but the kids love it (photo below is from the web).
Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, commonly known as Estadio Garcilaso, is Cusco's principal stadium and the home venue of the local football team Cienciano.

Went to Seville v Mallorca last week. Cracking stadium and atmosphere.
Hornchurch looks a bit Chelmsfordy
Very nice beer on tap as well.
Was it easy to buy tickets? I have always wanted to go to Seville, particularly Betis.
