Hello football/soccer fans (and anyone who wants to become one ;-) ),

in the past, we had a few nice football-related events that I really enjoyed. Inspired by them, I wanted to do one by myself.

In the past, I was fortunate enough to visit many different football stadiums around Europe that I really enjoyed. They were modern, old, atmospheric, places where history was made, exotic... ...but all of them were great experiences. I can't think of many better things than a full-packed, loud stadium during an exciting match. ;-)

To let you all take part in my stadium tour across Europe, I decided to start a puzzle which includes 16 stadiums I have visited in the last 23 years, when I visited my first stadium.

PUZZLE

It will probably be not to easy to identify all of them in the beginning, but I will provide useful hints from time to time.

To make things not too difficult, it is enough to name the city where the stadium stands (answers from German/English Wikipedia are correct).

By solving this puzzle, you get access to a train of 14 bundled games. The giveaway ends in two weeks (November18th 19:09 Uhr/German Time :-D ), so it should be enough time for anyone interested to solve this puzzle.

If you want to contribute to this thread, you may post anything related to football/soccer. ;-)

Good luck/Have fun!

Less than 6 hours to go - one giveaway already has ended (by accident) and was sent to the winner, but there are still 13 more games waiting and using the hints, it should be much easier to solve the puzzle! :-D
