This pitch is 2000m above sea level in the Swiss alps. The ideal place to have a game of five a side football, but you might want to get some altitude training in first.

Move above the hustle and bustle of the city below and play football high in the Tokyo sky. The pitch is fully enclosed, so no need to worry about losing the ball into the busy streets below.





This floating platform is in use for concerts, the Formula 1 race and most importantly as a football pitch. The unique grandstand has a capacity of 27,000 and the pitch is perfect for playing at night under the floodlights.




5. Hásteinsvöllur – Iceland

Iceland is one of the most rugged and beautiful countries in the world and their football pitches are no different. This club ground is nestled among the jutting cliff faces and about as much at one with nature as a pitch can get.




6. Inishturk Island – Ireland


You will find this pitch off the west coast of Ireland. Although it is technically a GAA pitch (Gaelic Football or Hurling) it is an absolute stunner. This pitch is about as remote and beautiful as it gets.




7. Henningsvær Football Soccer Stadium – Lofoten Norway


Easily one of the most scenic football pitches you will ever set eyes on…


Did we keep the best for last? Looks like it… Although all the pitches on the list are beautiful, this is just something else. Pass through a small village and you will find a pitch that is like something out of a dream.
