England Hopes to Host the 2018 World Cup
"Of the grounds put forward, eight are current Barclays Premier League club stadia"
Manchester United's Old Trafford (Capacity: 75,797) With Old Trafford regularly hosting big occasions such as Champions League matches, England internationals and FA Cup semi finals (before they were moved to Wembley), not to mention the 2003 Champions League final, the Theatre of Dreams is well equipped to host World Cup fixtures. The ground, which celebrated its 100th anniversary earlier this year, is the only UEFA 5-star rated club facility in the country, and would be a likely semi-final venue in 2018. It has the second largest capacity of any stadium in England, with only Wembley able to hold more spectators.
