The StadiumDB.com team is singing "That's the most wonderful time of the year" a month later than the rest of the world. That's because of a competition that makes every start of the year special. The 14th edition of Stadium of the Year is fast approaching, so now it's time for you! Our list of stadiums built in 2023 can now be seen, and you can give your own suggestions for such venues.

How to nominate a stadium for the Stadium of the Year 2023 competition?

Although we already started preparing for Stadium of the Year 2023 a year ago, the list of venues that will take part in the competition is not yet closed. Whether the pool of arenas taking part in the competition expands is up to you! The table, which can be found in this article, will be updated as new nominations are accepted. There are several ways to submit your proposal: by email, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. We will take a close look at each of them and let you know our decision.

Before you head to your keyboards to give us your own suggestions for venues, please read the entry criteria for the Stadium of the Year poll. You can nominate any arena that meets the following four unchangeable requirements: 

• time criteria (opening of a set of stands between 01.01.2023 and 31.12.2023);
• functional criteria (the stadium must allow football to be played);
• capacity criteria (10 000 seats or more);
• construction scope criteria (new stadium or completely rebuilt stadium).

You have until the end of January to submit your proposals. The voting, in which you will choose the best stadium of 2023, will last for one month starting on February 10 and ending on March 10, 2024.
