Leeds United visitor guide (Elland Road Stadium, Leeds Utd), England

Elland Road is the home of Leeds United Football Club, located in the Beeston area of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England.

Once one of English football’s true heavyweights, the club slipped into financial trouble during the early 2000s and found themselves relegated to the lower divisions. The stadium, however, remains one of England’s most historical grounds and has regularly been used to host England international matches over the years, as well as FA Cup semi-finals.

Elland Road was built in 1897 and has undergone various redevelopments over the decades. It’s modern capacity is 39,000.
