A national staium is a stadium that typically serves as the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams. The term is most often used in reference to an association football stadium. Usually, a national stadium will be in or very near a country's capital city or largest city. It is generally (but not always) the country's largest and most lavish sports venue. In many cases, but not all, it is also used by a club team. Many countries including the United States, do not have a National Stadium designated as such.
