Baku, Azerbaijan 68,700 Capacity With a retractable roof, 68,700 capacity and the ability to change colours around the exterior, it goes without saying that the Baku Olympic Stadium is a great offering from Azerbaijan when it comes to world football stadiums. Construction began in early 2013 and is scheduled to be completed in 2015 with the stadium currently looking likely to be the first ever hosts of the European games which for anyone unfamiliar with them is the continental equivalent of the Olympics. The primary tenant of the ground is set to be the Azerbaijan National football team who will be hosting their games there from 2015 onwards since FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini declared the stadium fit to host World Cup and European Championship qualification games when they attended the ground breaking 2011.
