The Allianz Arena, which officially opened its doors to the public on the 31st May 2005, is the new home stadium of two long standing Munich football clubs - FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich.
The design of the Allianz Arena, which represents an innovative interpretation of the football stadium of the future, has been developed by the Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron. The smooth outer façade, with its diamond shaped translucent shell onto which different plays of colour can be projected, gives the building an almost magical sense of poetry. As for the inner life of the stadium, the three terraces that can hold up to 66,000 spectators ensure direct proximity to the action and thus the desired emotional involvement, in addition to the comfort of a modern stadium.
The Allianz Arena also played an outstanding role in staging the 2006 World Cup, as the official Opening Game, four group games and a semi-final game for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ took place in Munich.
Allianz AG has acquired the naming rights for the football stadium as the core of a long-term marketing partnership with München Stadion GmbH. We at Allianz AG are proud to be associated with one of the most innovative and exclusive stadiums in the World.
