Talk:List of national stadiums

Untitled

I don't think the Olympic Stadium of Berlin qualifies as the German national stadium. The German football federation routinely rotates national team games among all major stadiums in the country. There is intentionally no national stadium in Germany.

Actually the same thing is the case in The Netherlands. The matches used to be held in either the Olympic stadium or the Feyenoord stadium. Nowadays they are rotateted through the country. I'm changing the entry.

Italy

there's an error on that list. in Italy we haven't any National Stadium! the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is the home of Roma and Lazio for football and is a location for a Grand Prix of Atlethic. nothing more!

Italy national team of football play matches in the whole Italy, and for the must part of time it play in small-medium size city and not in the top 5 cities. except for big matches or in the past for Euro and World Cup. in the last 10-15 years the National Team played very often in mid-size cities of South-Central Italy, where there are very few football clubs at top level (in the first 2 Divisions) and people is "hungry" of football.

the first match of Italy was played in Milan at the Arena Stadium (that still exists and host the home matche of the third team of Milan, the Brera FC, with a capacity of 30.000 people all seats and it's located in the city centre). then for many decades the city with more caps was Milan, that is the capital of Italian Football and also the city with the biggest stadium of the country. only in the end of 90's Roma became the city with more caps, cause the World Cup 1990 when Italia played 5 consecutive matches at the Olimpico. San Siro have another record. it's the only stadium of Italy where the National Footbal Team never lost a match!

Italian National Team played 52 time in Rome

10 matches at the Stadio Nazionale del Partito Fascista during the 30's (today the stadium is called Flaminio and hosted Rugby matches) 42 matches at the Stadio Olimpico from the mid 50's

Italian National Team played 50 time in Milano

36 matches at San Siro from the 30's (where never lost) 6 matches at the Arena in the 20's 6 matches at the old Lombardia Stadium in the 20's 2 matches and the Velodromo Vigorelli in the 20's

Very unclear name

The name of this articial is very unclear as i would consider a national stadium one built by the government for the purpose of hosting international events across many sports , such as Beijing National Stadium i suggest the page be moved to

• List of stadiums used by national teams or
• National team stadia or National team stadiums

with similar category changes (17:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC))

I've moved it back. The first sentence of the intro para says "A national stadium is a stadium that typically serves as the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams." That seems pretty clear to me. If you think it's worth distinguishing government-funded multi-purpose stadia, say via an asterisk, that's fine. However, I don't think any "national stadium" accommodates both soccer and, say, tennis. I removed Brazil-Maracanã (football) as Brazil haven't played a match there since 2000. As with Italy, Germany, etc, international matches are played at many different stadia. The "List of stadiums used by national teams" name would require us to list all such stadia, a huge and pointless task. jnestorius^(talk) 18:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Australia

What about the Melbourne Cricket Ground? Or even Telstra Stadium? Those two have hosted Olympic Games, as well as international rugby union, soccer, cricket and also AFL (Aussie rules football).

I wouldn't say that we don't have a national stadium, we have the MCG, or two if you want to count Telstra.
