FIFA 22 stadiums guide adds five new grounds including Brentford

The FIFA 22 stadiums list delivers five new additions to the series, although as of mid-December we’re still waiting on one of them. Like Elland Road last year, Brentford’s Community Stadium is being patched into FIFA 22 at a later date – presumably due to pandemic-related travel restrictions. There’s no such delay for Benfica, FC Porto, Cadiz and Arminia Bielefeld: below we profile those new inclusions, before taking you through the complete FIFA 22 stadiums list. 

Estadio da Luz (SL Benfica)

This one has been expected since Benfica became an official partner club of EA in 2020 – indeed, it’s surprising that the process of including one of world football’s most beautiful stadiums has taken two years. Home to the final of Euro 2004 and both the 2014 and 2020 Champions League deciders, it’s a genuinely breathtaking venue (I’ve been there – to watch England lose, naturally) with a capacity of 64,642. Truly, better late than never.

Brentford Community Stadium (Brentford)

From FIFA 15 onwards, EA has made a commitment to including every English Premier League stadium in its game – but this posed a problem last year when it couldn’t scan Leeds United’s Elland Road due to pandemic travel restrictions. It was instead added in a later patch, and that’s the plan for Brentford’s new stadium too. [Fellow promoted sides Watford and Norwich already have their homes in the game.] The Bees’ new build opened in September 2020, and can house 17,250 fans.

Liga Portugal will have two genuine stadiums in FIFA 22, as Porto’s home ground joins that of rival Benfica. Like the Estadio da Luz it was completed in 2003 in order to host games at Euro 2004, and has since been used for the UEFA Nations League final in 2019, and Champions League final in 2021. The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Muse and One Direction have all played concerts there, too. When it’s not rocking to Satisfaction or Viva La Vida, the ground holds 50,035.

Reale Arena (Real Sociedad)

Opened as the Anoeta Stadium in 1993, this is the third home of Basque side Real Sociedad, and plans for its expansion have been kicked around for a decade and a half. Construction finally began in May 2017, with the notorious running track removed, and capacity ultimately being expanded to 40,000. The 2020-21 season was its first full season of use since renovation, and as a result it’s also been prettily remodelled by the EA scanning team ahead of FIFA 22.

SchucoArena (Arminia Bielefeld)

EA tends to add at least one German club per season, with the homes of Union Berlin and SC Paderborn landing in FIFA 21. This time around it’s the turn of Arminia Bielefeld, who narrowly maintained their Bundesliga status last season with a final-day win over Stuttgart. Before accepting sponsorship from a local window manufacturer their 26,515-capacity ground was long known as the Bielefelder Alm.

Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla (Cadiz CF)

As with Germany, EA likes to drop in a new Spanish ground each year. Last time out Granada and Mallorca both saw their stadia officially scanned, and now Cadiz takes the list of real La Liga grounds to 17. [Still no Nou Camp though – that one is exclusive to eFootball 2022.] Originally built as the Estadio Ramón de Carranza in 1955, Nuevo Mirandilla has been completely reconstructed twice, and currently boasts a capacity of 20,724.
