Free football geography warm-up
Football Stadium Quiz — Guess the City
You know the stadium name. Can you name the city? This football stadium quiz takes you to six grounds across Europe, from familiar names to a Dutch away-day favourite. It tests the link between a ground and its location, rather than your memory of a result or a player’s shirt number.
Say or write down a city before opening each answer. Give yourself one point per correct city, for a maximum of six. There’s no timer, account or score submission: take your time and use the map tips to remember the places you miss.
Six stadiums. Six cities.
01Wembley Stadium
Which English city would you visit to find Wembley Stadium?
Show answer: Wembley Stadium
London, England
Wembley is part of London. Its official travel guide connects the stadium with the capital’s transport network, including trains from London Marylebone. Wembley is the local place name; London is the city answer for this warm-up.
Map tip: Find London first. For a stadium pin, zoom in and look for Wembley rather than stopping at the city label.

02San Siro
San Siro is also known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Which Italian city is it in?
Show answer: San Siro
Milan, Italy
Inter’s stadium page lists the ground in Milan and explains that San Siro is the name of its neighbourhood. Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and San Siro refer to the same ground: learning both names saves you from treating them as separate destinations.
Map tip: A map may label the ground with either name. Check the stadium label after you have located Milan.
Official source: Inter: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza
03Celtic Park
Which Scottish city is home to Celtic Park?
Show answer: Celtic Park
Glasgow, Scotland
Celtic’s official stadium address places Celtic Park in Glasgow. Scotland is the country clue here; the answer still needs a city. Knowing the club can get you to the right urban area before you look for the individual ground.
Map tip: Keep the city and stadium as two steps: Glasgow first, Celtic Park second when a map clue asks for the ground.

04De Kuip
Which city in the Netherlands would you travel to for De Kuip?
Show answer: De Kuip
Rotterdam, Netherlands
De Kuip’s official contact page gives its visiting address in Rotterdam and also uses the name Stadium Feijenoord. It is a useful reminder that the best-known name on a match ticket can differ from the name used in an address.
Map tip: Start with Rotterdam. Use De Kuip or Stadion Feijenoord to identify the ground, rather than another venue in the city.
Official source: De Kuip: location and contact
05Santiago Bernabéu
In which Spanish city would you find the Santiago Bernabéu?
Show answer: Santiago Bernabéu
Madrid, Spain
The Bernabéu’s official visitor page lists Avenida Concha Espina in Madrid. Its metro stop also carries the stadium’s name. A street, station or neighbourhood can give you a more precise location once you already know the correct city.
Map tip: Find Madrid at city scale, then look for the Bernabéu label if the question asks you to place a stadium pin.

06Estádio da Luz
Benfica’s Estádio da Luz belongs to which Portuguese city?
Show answer: Estádio da Luz
Lisbon, Portugal
Benfica lists its stadium address in Lisboa, the Portuguese name for Lisbon. The address uses Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Recognising a city’s local spelling helps when you move between an English quiz, a map and a club’s own website.
Map tip: Lisbon and Lisboa are the same city. Match the Benfica stadium name as well before placing a precise ground pin.

Turn a city answer into a better map guess
Read what the clue asks for
A club’s city, its stadium and a player’s birthplace are different targets. Decide which kind of place you need before zooming. Getting the city right is a good start, but it doesn’t identify every ground within it.
Zoom in stages
Use the country to find the city, then use the stadium label to narrow your guess. If you lose your bearings, zoom out one level and try again. You do not need to recognise every street to make a sensible choice.
Check the label before locking in
Place your pin, check that it marks the intended place and then confirm. The daily game awards points by distance, so a nearby guess still counts. Its full scoring guide explains how the later questions can change your total.
