The Allianz Arena Stadium in the 2020 European Championships, also known as FuBball Arena Munchen, will be one of the venues that will host some matches of this sensational football event. We are talking about an imposing construction which, with the capacity of over 75,000 seats, is the second largest stadium in Germany, after the Borussia Dortmund stadium , the Signal Iduna Park.
The Allianz Arena is the home match stadium of Bayern Munich and, until 2017, also those of 1860 Munich, which in that year returned to play in the Grunwalder Stadion.
Before the construction of this facility, the two Munich teams played in the Olympiastadium,which was decommissioned because it could not be expanded in view of the 2006 World Cup. Therefore, it was decided to build a new ultra-modern stadium, inaugurated in 2005, whose peculiarity lies in the panels that make up the external cladding of the complex, which change color.
Although it is a recent construction, it has hosted several important matches, including 6 matches of the World Cup in Germany. The 2012 Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea , won by the Blues on penalties, was also played here.
In addition to the stadium, you can visit the Bayern Munich football museum, one of the most successful clubs in the history of football.
