Estádio do Maracanã — Rio de Janeiro (1950, 2014)
The Maracanazo. 200,000 witnesses to Brazil's heartbreak. Then 2014's 1-0 German win. Double tragedy.
The Maracanã hosted the infamous 1950 "Maracanazo" — Uruguay's 2-1 defeat of Brazil before 200,000 people in the decisive final match — a result so traumatic it entered Brazilian cultural consciousness as a national tragedy. That attendance is 115% higher than at any match in the Estadio Azteca's history, and rebuilt for 2014, it hosted the final where Germany's 1-0 win completed Brazil's double humiliation on home soil.
