The oldest stadium still in use is the Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro, located in Athens, Greece. This historic stadium is primarily known for hosting the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. However, the Panathenaic Stadium itself dates back even further.
The original stadium was constructed in the 4th century BCE and hosted various athletic events during ancient times. Over the centuries, the stadium fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned. However, it was reconstructed in 1895-1896 for the revival of the Olympic Games and has been in continuous use ever since.
The remarkable preservation and ongoing use of the Panathenaic Stadium make it the oldest stadium in the world that is still in active operation today.

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.

With history reaching 1910 it remains among the oldest grounds in Germany to still be in use. Used as home by Stuttgarter Kickers and Altona 93 in early years, it became home to Greuther Fürth in 1910, when the club bought it for 60,000 marks.
