From today until and including January 30 everyone around the world is invited to name a stadium deserving to be among Stadium of the Year 2018 candidates. We have only set a few conditions for a stadium to qualify. Each venue has to be new or largely reconstructed, be fully opened by the end of 2018, able to host a football/soccer game and hold no fewer than 10,000 seated people.

In a brilliant sign of enthusiasm we have already received over 20 entries, starting 4 days ago! Thank you and keep them coming. Current list of approved candidates can be found below. Further stadia will be added once we evaluate them. Please take into account that including some stadiums will require some research or communication with authorities, which means you might not see your favourite immediately.

How to nominate?

It's easy, open and democratic. Everyone has the chance to nominate a stadium via a comment on social media or direct message. You can also send us an email to michal@stadiumdb.com, please include the word 'nomination' in the title. Please mind, all it takes for a stadium to be included in the final vote is one nomination. Even if you send 300 messages, chances will not increase, we evaluate every nomination based on merit, not popularity.
