You might not think of North Korea when it comes to iconic sports venues, but Pyongyang’s Rungrado 1st of May Stadium holds the title of the largest stadium in the world with a staggering capacity of 114,000. Built in 1989, this colossal structure isn’t just used for football—it hosts mass gymnastics performances, military parades, and political events.
