Since I'd only ever heard of one of these before, I adopted the same strategy I did for the previous famous stadiums quiz (guessing cities famous for sports) and ended up getting 15.
Pyongyang occurred to me but I thought, "no way," and didn't even try it. Since only 10% got that one right I think that I was correct in assuming that there were no famous soccer stadiums there.
I adopted the same strategy. Only got thirteen though. Although I got Tehran. Not sure why that city came to mind, but hey... I thought it was strange that Johannesburg was the only African stadium. Although Nigeria, Algeria, and Ghana are traditionally pretty good, do they not have any good stadiums? I'm guessing not.
That strategy got me 18. Missed Dortmund (yes the team is famous, but I guessed a zillion other German cities) and Pyongyang (Seoul wasn't close enough).
I thought it was and according to Wikipedia it is (by seating capacity). Strange that they list the sporting events for it as football, athletics, mass games, and executions.
Yep, it's simply called "Anfield". Walk out the tunnel to the pitch, and you'll walk under a sign that says, "This is Anfield". I've literally never heard it called Anfield Stadium.

San Siro and Giuseppe Meazza are actually the same stadium. It was founded as San Siro, which is the name of the neighbourhood, and later the official name changed to Giuseppe Meazza. Most of the milanese population still calls it San Siro, but since at the time that was the real name it would get mostly AC Milan games, the most fanatic Internazionale fans like to call it by the current official name, Meazza.
This being a soccer stadium quiz, it seems strange that some major worldwide soccer stadiums are not featured and instead it does feature stadiums in Ireland, North Korea and South Africa.
Juventus Stadium probably needs to be swapped out. I would have thought the clue was too big. And Croke Park...Lansdowne Road/Aviva Stadium is the one you are looking for. Croke Park very very rarely hosts soccer matches.
Got them all except for the FNB Stadium. As a long time Australian football fan, I remembered the Azadi and Estadio Centenario because we have played world cup finals play offs in both those stadiums.

Last I checked the region was San Siro and the stadium was the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
