SubscribeA definitive guide to Munich's Allianz Arena, one of the 12 stadiums that will be hosting the premier sporting event in Germany this summer, the FIFA World Cup 2006. Including images, statistics, stadium facts and fixtures for the Football World Cup arena.
The Allianz Arena is located in the north of Munich. It is sponsored by the Allianz group, a large financial services provider, but it will nevertheless be known as "FIFA World Cup Stadium Munich" during the 2006 World Cup since FIFA does not allow sponsorship of stadium names.
