The Mmabatho Stadium in Mafikeng, South Africa, has been listed as one of the 10 worst football stadiums in the world according to a ranking by sportune.fr. Built in 1981 with a capacity of 59,000 seats, the stadium is criticized for the layout of the stands, which hinders spectators’ views of matches.
While the Mmabatho Stadium may be considered less favorable, there are other stadiums worldwide facing unique challenges. In Singapore, a floating stadium constructed in 2013 was swallowed up due to issues with the stand’s distance from the public. Additionally, the Balchik Stadium in Bulgaria, in an advanced state of disrepair, remains the home ground for Chernomorets Balchik, a Bulgarian second division club.
