Despite issues related to ticketing, crowd atmosphere and cost overruns, West Ham's London Stadium is on the shortlist to be named stadium of the year.
The competition, run by StadiumDB.com and judged by an international panel of architects renowned for their work in stadium design, selected the Stratford ground as the only finalist from the United Kingdom.
West Ham moved into the former Olympic Stadium at the start of the season, leaving Upton Park after more than 100 years. The stadium finished seventh in the 2013 vote after it was constructed and used for London 2012.
The winner will be revealed next week, with the stadium's visual impact, how it relates to its surrounding and how innovative it is among the main criteria.
Other finalists include Besiktas' Vodafone Arena in Istanbul, Udinese's Dacia Arena and the Allianz Stadion in Vienna.
The stadium has been the subject of numerous complaints since it hosted its first West Ham game last summer. The Football Association launched an investigation into crowd disorder following the Hammers' EFL Cup win against Chelsea in October, even after security measures were tightened, and season ticket holders objected to a number of seating restrictions, including measures taken to prevent standing and the relocation of some supporters to family areas.
Costs associated with the stadium have also been under scrutiny, with London Mayor Sadiq Khan ordering a review of the escalating price in November. It was originally expected the cost of converting the ground from an athletics arena to make it suitable for football would be £272 million, but recent projections put that figure at £323m -- nearly a £51m increase.
Last year's winner was BBVA Bancomer Stadium in Guadalupe, Mexico. Gent's Ghelamco Arena was the last European winner when it was crowned in 2014.
