  1. Maracanã in Rio needs to be on your list. According to its official website, it currently holds 88,992 people, so it should be in fifth place.

  4. Thanks anonymous,

    As far as I can tell, the May Day stadium in North Korea doesn't host regular club soccer matches. They do rarely use it for national team matches though.
