This paper shows changes in the location of large-scale sport infrastructure (stadiums) whose major purpose is football. Research was conducted for the adjacent areas of 895 football stadiums with at least 10 000 seats for spectators and covers 47 (out of 55) countries of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). Analysis of the developments carried out in the direct neighbourhood of stadiums brought an opportunity to establish both the benefits and potential difficulties arising from creating large stadiums at a greater distance from the central part of a city The paper shows that the average distance between stadiums and urban centres increased for all cities in all size categories. Stadiums built recently (after the year 2000) were constructed on the peripheries of the cities and in their neighbourhoods housing development is rare but large parking spaces have become standard.
