Europe's national-team-only stadiums

About this data

Most countries share their national stadium with a leading club, so a ground used only by the national team is relatively rare and usually significant — a flagship venue, a neutral national arena, or a tournament stadium awaiting a permanent tenant. The map below shows each of these grounds; the table lists them by capacity.
