Many countries have a national sport stadium, which typically serves as the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams. The term is most often used in reference to an football (soccer) stadium. Usually, a national stadium will be in or very near a country's capital city or largest city. It is generally (but not always) the country's largest and most lavish sports venue with a rich history of hosting a major moment in sports (i.e. FIFA World Cup, Olympics, ect). In many, but not all cases, it is also used by a local team. Many countries, including Spain and the United States, do not have a National Stadium designated as such, instead matches are rotated throughout the country. The lack of a national stadium can be seen as advantageous as designating a single stadium would limit the fan base capable of realistically attending matches as well as the concern of the cost of transportation.

A list of national stadiums follows:

Many stadiums are commonly used to host Brazil national team matches during the World Cup qualification and Conmebol events:

  • From 2006, Brazil entered a deal to play its home games against European teams at the Emirates stadium in London. As many of the Brazilian squad played for European clubs, it was more convenient for players to play games in Europe rather than travel back to South America during the season, though in recent times a larger number of the Squad's members have played in the Brazilian league.
