* **UK's Oldest Stadium: What Still Stands?**
The Racecourse Ground in Wrexham is one of the oldest football stadiums, or sporting venues in general, anywhere in Europe. It didn’t start hosting football until 1864 but it has maintained its quaint charm and atmosphere throughout its 200-year existence. With Wales still occasionally using the venue for international matches, the venue in North Wales is now considered to be the oldest stadium in the world capable of hosting an international competition.

This is officially the oldest football stadium in the world, having been in use since 1804 but is currently used by Hallam FC – a non-league outfit. When discussing the oldest football stadiums in England, the city of Sheffield is the obvious starting point. Not only does it have Brammall Lane, the home of Sheffield United which opened in 1855 and is the second-oldest ground in the country, but it is also the home of Sandygate. Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground only narrowly misses out on being the oldest stadium in the English football system, having opened in 1807.
