The 92 Challenge is one of the most prestigious achievements for any football fan in England.
Traveling to every single stadium in the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two over the course of your lifetime is enough to make you a king among Football League fans.
However, accomplishing the feat within a single season is truly the ultimate achievement, with an unreal level of commitment, time, and — frankly — money required to even think of accomplishing it.

92 Club Challenge
But that’s exactly what Eugéne Noble managed to do as part of COPA90’s ’92 Club Challenge’ when he traveled across the country to see a match from all 92 league clubs during the 2021/22 season.
It was made for an intriguing series, with Noble traversing every corner of England and Wales expressing his thoughts on the 92 stadiums through a four-category scoring system.
Each stadium was rated out of 20 points, with the stadium’s soul, eccentricity, home support and matchday menu being rated one, two, three, four or five points depending on quality.
And now that the 2021/22 season is drawing to a close, Noble can officially stand tall and declare that he has ticked off all 92 Premier League and Football League stadiums.
But who made it and who hit rock bottom? Well no worries, COPA90 unveiled the final results on Instagram this week to show the world how all 92 clubs were ranked, ranked and compared.
All Premier League and Football League stadiums in one ranking
Be sure to head over to their feed to see Noble’s video on each individual stadium, but keep scrolling if you want to see where your club ranks based on their 20 point total.
(Note: Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City were not awarded Soul points out of respect for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster and Bradford City stadium fire.)

Tie for first place
oooh It’s a tie for first place!
COPA90 have stated that Noble will seek to separate the two Premier League sides in due course, but for now they are officially crowned the best clubs of the 92 from a fan’s perspective.
Okay, a fan, but that’s the joy of days away and attending football games in person, because what makes the day special is entirely up to your own likes and dislikes.
Who knows, you might think St Mary’s Stadium has heaps of character, Wycombe has the best support in the country and Southampton deserves a Michelin star for their food.
On the other hand, is anyone better qualified than Noble to rate the 92 Premier League and Football League clubs this season, having traveled to each and every one of them? Bow, son, bow.
