Remote Roars: Epic Stadiums Worth the Expedition

17. Krestovsky Stadium – Saint Helena, South Atlantic

Saint Helena is one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world, sitting thousands of miles from any major landmass in the South Atlantic Ocean. This tiny volcanic island, best known as the place of Napoleon’s exile, is home to Krestovsky Stadium, an unassuming but historic football ground that exists in complete geographical solitude. Getting to Saint Helena is an adventure in itself. Until recently, the only way to reach the island was via a lengthy boat trip from South Africa, but a small airport now provides limited access. The stadium, though modest in size, represents the heart of the local sports culture. It’s not just a football pitch; it’s a place where the island’s small population comes together, strengthening their unique community bond.
