Old Trafford, known as the “Theatre of Dreams”, is the iconic stadium of Manchester United, located in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. Inaugurated in 1910, it has witnessed countless historic moments in English and European football.
With a current capacity of 74,310 spectators, it is the largest club football stadium in the United Kingdom and the twelfth largest in Europe. Over the years, it has hosted notable events such as matches of the 1966 FIFA World Cup, the 1996 UEFA European Championship, the 2012 Olympic Games, and the final of the 2003 UEFA Champions League.
Among its notable features, Old Trafford has the Manchester United Museum and offers stadium tours, allowing fans to delve into the club's rich history. Additionally, it boasts four main stands: the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, the South Stand, the West Stand, and the East Stand, each with its own history and significance for the supporters.
Recently, in January 2025, plans have been unveiled for the future of Old Trafford. The club is considering two options: a renovation that would increase capacity to 87,000 spectators or the construction of a new stadium with a capacity for 100,000 people in adjacent lands. This decision is expected for summer 2025 and reflects Manchester United's commitment to improving facilities and fan experience.
