When you talk about some of the great stadiums in Europe, the Cívitas Metropolitano has got to be in the conversation. A history of disappointments prior to the current occupants, Atletico Madrid, taking up residence, after which it has become home of one of the fiercest teams on the continent. Now, it’s in focus as part of our ‘Residence’ series.

Residence #66 | 'Cashman Field' Las Vegas Lights

Few places in the world evoke images quite like Las Vegas; the bright lights of Sin City are set in the middle of the dusty Mojave desert, and it’s here that USL side Las Vegas Lights have their home in Cashman Field. Didn’t have to ask twice for us to make this the next stop in our Residence series. Viva Las Vegas!

Residence #64 | 'Elland Road' Leeds United

Few stadiums boast as much history and heritage as Elland Road, a ground that has pretty much seen it all. Sure, a touch up wouldn’t go amiss, but as it stands it is a bastion of the old school and a hallowed ground for fans. A safe house for treasured memories from a time when Leeds United dominated the English game, our latest 'Residence' comes from Yorkshire.

Residence #61 | 'Stade Geoffroy-Guichard' Saint-Etienne

When the host cities were announced for EURO 2016 there was one ground in particular that stuck out for England fans. Saint-Etienne is a home from home for the Three Lions. Inspired by British stadia, the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard is a nostalgic cauldron of noise, a terraced treasure. The home of Michael Owen's France '98 wondergoal against Argentina. The home of ecstasy. The home of devastating heartache.

Residence #60 | 'Turf Moor' Burnley FC

Turf Moor is a proper British football stadium. To be honest we could just leave it at that and let you scroll through our photos, but we will elaborate on it because the home of Burnley FC deserves recognition as one of the most beautifully raw grounds in the Premier League. It's one we've been keen to tick off for a while, and with that it becomes the latest stop in our 'Residence' series.

Residence #59 | 'Brisbane Road' Leyton Orient

The next stop on our 'Residence' series, where we explore characteristic homes of football across the world, sees us jump on the Central Line and into East London to have a nosey around Brisbane Road, the home of Leyton Orient Football Club.

Residence #58 | 'Casino Arizona Field' Phoenix Rising FC

Having forgotten to take a left turn at Albuquerque, we found ourselves in the Valley of the Sun, home to one of the USL’s most exciting teams, Phoenix Rising FC.

Residence #57 | 'County Ground' Swindon Town

Wandering into Wiltshire for the 57th and next stop of our 'Residence' tour we find ourselves staring upwards at the pylon floodlights that light up the County Ground, the home of Swindon Town Football Club. This is a stadium that has witnessed football through all four divisions of English professional football and has been shaped architecturally over 123 years, since it was first opened in 1896.

Residence #56 | 'Rasmee Dhandu Stadium' Maldives

Where there is land, there is football. The middle of the Indian Ocean might not be at the top of your list for an away day, but for the people of the Maldives it ain't just all beach football and cocktails. In stark contrast to the luxury resorts of this beautiful country stands the Rasmee Dhandu National Stadium on the capital of Malé – a tattered old ground, boxed in on one of the most densely populated islands in the world.

Residence #55 | 'Toyota Field' San Antonio FC

The next stop in our ‘Residence’ series sees us arrive in Texas, and USL side San Antonio FC’s home ground, Toyota Fields. While it’s well known that Texans love their football, ‘soccer’ has not always been as high on the agenda, but this could be set to change if plans pan out.

Residence #54 | 'Stadio Pierluigi Penzo' Venezia FC

Venice welcomes over 30 million visitors every year and almost all of them are missing one of the city's most picturesque landmarks.
