'World's greatest football stadium' with 80,000 seats remains half-built 16 years on

A number of iconic stadiums in Spain look set to look slightly different over the next few years.

Barcelona have temporarily moved out of the Camp Nou whilst it undergoes major renovation work. Meanwhile, Real Madrid ’s Santiago Bernabeu has also had work done to it as it attempts to keep pace with the most glittering arenas in world football.

One club in particular has had plans in place for a long time to move - Valencia. The six-time Spanish champions have made the Mestalla their home since 1923. It had an initial capacity of 17,000 and has gradually grown and now sits at just under 50,000 seats. It is now the eighth-largest stadium in Spain.
