Frankfurt
The Wald Stadium holds a place in international and German football history. Built as a sports park in 1925, it was renovated for the 1974 World Cup and was the venue of the Opening Ceremony first match of the competition. The stadium was also the venue for some memorable football matches, namely the rain-soaked battle between the German team and Poland at the 1974 World Cup, and Eintracht Frankfurt's UEFA Cup victory over Borussia Munchengladbach in 1980. Modernisation of the stadium was carried out prior to EURO 88, and a further 125 million marks has been made available by the City Council for further improvements ahead of World Cup 2006.
