Prynhawn da, I'm back again for more away day locations/stadiums so we can get a general idea about where we're likely to be going when the draw is made on 9th October.
As always, this should be taken with a pinch of salt as we know some football associations can play a match somewhere completely unexpected. A few of the recent games have had 0 spectators because of COVID so I won't include those here as it's probably not somewhere they'd play normally.
We're in Pot 2 again so we avoid some bigger sides like France and England. No Germany either due to them hosting it.
POT 1
Netherlands - All games at either Johan Cruyff Arena, Amsterdam (55,000) or De Kuip, Rotterdam (51,117).
Croatia - Multiple locations. Stadion Maksimir, Zagreb (35,123), Stadion Gradski Vrt, Osijek (17,061); Stadion Poljud, Split (34,198) and Stadion Rujevica, Rijeka (8,279). The latter was probably just for the COVID limited games though.
Spain - Multiple locations. The last two campaigns have included Benito Villamarin, Sevilla (60,720); La Rosaleda, Malaga (30,044); La Romareda, Zaragoza (33,608), La Cartuja, Sevilla (57,619). In the past they've also played at the standard big grounds like the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid (81,044); Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid (68,456) and Mestalla, Valencia (49,430) so a wait and see on this one.
Italy - Multiple locations. Again all over really but locations recently include Stadio Artemio Franchi, Florence (43,147); Mapei Stadium, Reggio Emilia (21,525); Stadio Olimpico, Rome (70,634); San Siro, Milan (80,018). I suspect we'd get one of the bigger grounds but no guarantee.
Denmark - Denmark have tended to play all their games at the Parken Stadium, Copenhagen (38,065) recently. However, they could always switch to Aarhus or somewhere else as we know!
Portugal - Multiple locations. Over the past few campaigns they've played at Estadio da Luz, Lisbon (64,642); Estadio Jose Alvalade, Lisbon (50,095); Estadio Algarve, Faro (30,305) and Estadio Municipal, Braga (30,286). Generally the bigger games seemed to be played in Lisbon at the Estadio da Luz.
Belgium - King Badouin Stadium, Brussels (50,093) - All games.
Hungary - Puskas Arena, Budapest (67,215) - All games. This is the brand new stadium in Budapest and was only finished at the end of 2019 so we just missed out on this one.
Switzerland - Multiple locations. Recent games include St Jakob Park, Basel (37,500) and Stade de Geneve, Geneva (30,084). Some smaller games at Swissporarena, Luzern (16,800) and Kybunpark, St Gallen (19,694).
Poland - Most games played at Stadion Narodowy, Warsaw (56,826). One game (ours) played at Stadion Wroclaw (45,105).
POT 3
Ukraine - Obviously hard to gauge what will happen with Ukraine's games but for now they've been playing games in Poland in Stadion Miejski, Lodz (18,029) and Stadion Cracovii, Krakow (15,114).
Albania - Either Arena Kombetare, Tirana (22,500) or Elbasan Arena, Elbasan (12,800). Most games have been in Tirana.
Norway - Ullevaal Stadium, Oslo (28,000) - All games.
Slovenia - Almost always play at Stozice Stadium, Ljubljana (16,038). However, one game recently against Russia in 2021 at Ljudski vrt, Maribor (11,671).
Republic of Ireland - Aviva Stadium, Dublin (51,700) - All games.
Iceland - Laugardalsvöllur, Reykjavík (9,800) - All games.
Montenegro - City Stadium, Podgorica (11,050) - All games.
Romania - Mainly play in Bucharest at Arena Națională, Bucharest (55,634); Stadionul Rapid-Giulești, Bucharest (14,047) or Stadionul Steaua, Bucharest (31,254). Have in the past played in Cluj (30,201) and Craiova (30,983) but not often recently.
Sweden - Friends Arena, Solna (just north of Stockholm) (50,653) - All games.
Armenia - Republican Stadium, Yerevan (14,403) - All games.
POT 4
Georgia - Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, Tbilisi (54,139) - All games.
Greece - Played most WC qualifiers at the Olympic Stadium, Athens (69,618). NL games were played at either Georgios Kamaras Stadium, Athens (14,200) or Panthessaliko Stadium, Volos (22,700).
Turkey - Usually play in Istanbul at any of the big stadiums, Atatürk Olympic Stadium (75,145); Vodafone Park (42,590); Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium (47,834) or Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium (17,156). One NL game against Lithuania played at Gürsel Aksel Stadium, Izmir (20,040)
Kazakhstan - Almost always play at the Astana Arena, Astana (30,244). I recall them playing games at Almaty (23,804) but they haven't for a while.
Luxembourg - Stade de Luxembourg, Luxembourg City (9,386) - All games.
Azerbaijan - All WC qualifiers played at Olympic Stadium, Baku (69,700). All NL games played at Dalga Arena (6,500). In 2019 we played at Bakcell Arena, Baku (11,000).
Kosovo - Fadil Vokrri Stadium, Pristina (13,500) - All games.
Bulgaria - All WC qualifiers played at Vasil Levski National Stadium, Sofia (44,000). All NL games played at Huvepharma Arena, Razgrad (10,422).
Faroe Islands - Torsvollur, Torshavn (5,000) - All games.
North Macedonia - Tose Proeski Arena, Skopje (36,460) - All games.
POT 5
Slovakia - Either Tehelné pole, Bratislava (22,500) or Anton Malatinský Stadium, Trnava (19,200).
Northern Ireland - Windsor Park, Belfast (18,500) - All games.
Cyprus - Either GSP Stadium, Nicosia (22,859) or AEK Arena, Larnaca (7,303).
Belarus - Could be a tricky one given their involvement in the Ukraine conflict. They were playing games in Kazan, Russia but are now playing home games in Novi Sad, Serbia (14,853) with 0 attendance so don't think we'd be watching us play Belarus away at the moment.
Lithuania - LFF Stadium, Vilnius (5,067) - All games.
Gibraltar - Victoria Stadium (5,000) - All games.
Estonia - Lilleküla Stadium, Tallinn (14,336) - All games.
Latvia - Mainly Daugava Stadium, Riga (10,461), sometimes Skonto Stadium, Riga (8,087).
