Anfield is the most popular stadium in the UK and is ranked third in the world. With 1.01 million mentions, Liverpool’s home is the only English stadium to have been tagged more than a million times.
The statistics were released by Ticketgum.com by analysing the Instagram trend. The website pulled 15 of the best-known stadiums in the world to crunch the numbers.
The 15 stadiums together generated over 8 million hashtags.
The San Siro, home of Italian sides AC Milan and Inter Milan, is ranked second and was mentioned 1.09 million times. Behind Anfield is the Bernabeau, the home of Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Old Trafford is the second most hashtagged football stadium in the UK, thanks to Manchester United’s global appeal. Argentinian side Boca Juniors’ home La Bombonera is the only stadium outside Europe to figure in the top 15.
