Olympic Stadium

Olympic Stadium

The Olympic Stadium was home to the 2012 London Olympics, where the best sportsmen in the world got together, and records were beaten. The opening ceremony was one of the most impressive of recent years and is considered by some as the best ever.

The ceremony included giants such as Rowan Atkinson, best known as Mr. Bean, Daniel Craig as James Bond, and even Queen Elizabeth II herself.

But if this modern sports complex is known for anything, it's for having witnessed one of the most important sporting feats in history, the world record in the 100-meter dash obtained by Usain Bolt. This race is considered "the best race of all time", as it brought together probably the best sprinters of the last decades; Usain Bolt, Justin Gatlin, Johan Blake, and Asafa Powell.

Hammers and Bubbles

West Ham United is one of the most iconic teams in England. Its international reach even extends beyond the world of soccer, having been the subject of acclaimed films and major newspaper reports about its great fans.

This east London club moved to the Olympic Stadium in 2016 following the demolition of Upton Park, their previous home and the venue that hosted West Ham matches since 1904.

The nickname of their fans is "The Hammers", i.e. the tools that appear on the club's crest and come from its foundation in the Thames Ironworks steelworks.

The biggest movie buffs will recognize this club from Lexi Alexander's famous film "Green Street Hooligans", a film that deals with the social reality behind English soccer fans and whose protagonists are of West Ham United.

But if there is one thing the Hammers are known for around the world, it is their soap bubbles, an element that is never missing at their home games and is now almost as famous as the club itself. With the help of a cannon, these are propelled around the stadium while the fans sing the iconic "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", the club's romantic anthem that functions as a hymn to nostalgia. This is undoubtedly a unique event in the world of soccer and one that any football fan will enjoy watching live.

The entrance ticket to the London Olympic Stadium will allow you to tour the entire stadium completely free of charge, entering the first team changing rooms, the press room, the stands and even the pitch.
