Groundhopping

Hello everybody again! I usually let my memories rest for a while before writing about my new experiences, but this time I couldn’t resist any longer to tell you about my latest adventure. I’m especially excited because I got to experience first hand a match in a stadium that I thought I wouldn’t get the […]

There’s always a good reason to visit the multicultural Lisbon, whether it’s for its food, its people… or its football. As a lover of Portugal, I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit one of the most beautiful stadiums in Europe and home of one of the most important teams in the country, Sporting Clube […]

When we start a new year we always tend to take balance of the year we have finished and 2021 will be remembered for being also complicated by the pandemic, but from this place I wanted to share with you in this first post of 2022 a lovely experience as it was the return to […]

In the heart of Marseille, the gateway to the luxurious French Côte d’Azur or also called the port of North Africa, we find the Stade Vélodrome, home of a European champion, Olympique de Marseille. Perhaps because I also belong to a neighbourhood with a well-defined idiosyncrasy, I always felt sympathy for OM and I always […]

Located in the southeast of the city, away from the glamour and attention of the big teams of the capital, we find one of the most peculiar clubs not only in Madrid, but in the whole of Spain, Rayo Vallecano.

Lovers of British football are in luck because one of London’s classic teams, Fulham, has returned to the Premier League one year after being relegated in the 2018-2019 season. If something characterizes this club is its stadium, Craven Cottage, an architectural jewel from another age, specifically from 1896, when it was inaugurated in a match […]

San Siro will be demolished because it is not of cultural interest for the city, that is how crude the news sounds confirmed by the Mayor of Milan. Initially, I had planned to write about this stadium later on, but this news has made me want to share my experience at San Siro now. It […]

New post about stadiums and, taking advantage of the fact that we started this section talking about Old Trafford, we are going to continue in Manchester, but this time to talk about the Etihad Stadium, the stadium of the neighbouring Manchester City. It is a relatively modern stadium, it was opened for the Commonwealth games […]

For this first post about football stadiums we are going to move to Manchester, in the northwest of England, to talk about Old Trafford, the stadium of one of the most important clubs in Europe, Manchester United. Old Trafford is the second largest stadium (76,000 spectators) in the UK after Wembley (90, 000 spectators) and […]
