National teams playing in one single stadium United Kingdom, France, but also the stadium where the last Europa League Final was played

The national team season almost always has an itinerant character, with the selections being hosted from facility to facility during their friendly and qualifying engagements for international tournaments. This is also the case for the Italian national team, which, despite having the Stadio Olimpico in Rome as its main venue, travels to different stadiums, with the positive result that more fans can see the matches live. There are, however, some federations that have decided to establish a single stadium as the home of their national team, in some situations for the exclusive use of the team representing the country and in others in cohabitation with the club of that specific city. This choice is widespread in the British nations, but around the world there are several facilities that have become the exclusive home of national teams over the years. 

Wembley, the home of England

Wembley Stadium is one of the most impressive stadiums in the world, with its arch visible for miles around. The 'Cathedral of Football', as Pelé called the facility, can seat up to 90,000 spectators and is therefore the largest stadium in the UK and the second largest in Europe after Barcelona's Camp Nou. It is currently owned by the English Football Association, which has made it the home of the Three Lions; it is exclusively here that the team plays its home games. The FA Cup and English League Cup finals are also played at Wembley.

Since 1992, the year it was inaugurated, Denmark has played its matches at the Parken Stadion in Copenhagen; also the home football team's venue. It has a capacity of 38,000 spectators and hosted that year's Eurovision Song Contest in 2001. And it was at that event that the retractable roof was installed. The Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, on the other hand, is exclusively for the use of the Norwegian national team. This stadium was erected back in 1926 but has seen various renovations over the years. It can accommodate around 26,000 spectators and has been owned by the Norwegian Football Association since 2007. 

The smallest stadium in Europe is instead the Laugardalsvollur in Reykjavík where Iceland plays. In 1958 the facility had only one stand, in 1997 the opposite stand was added, and in 2006 it was completely refurbished following the Icelandic government's commitment to enhance the national football movement. It now has a seating capacity of 9,800, but can reach 15,000 if standing room is counted. A number far exceeded during a friendly against Italy in 2004, when there were 20,204 fans, many of them standing.
