Munich
Munichs Olympic stadium has hosted numerous national and international events in the past. It was the venue for 1974 World Cup Final, the final of EURO 88, and most recently the 1997 UEFA Champions League final. The stadium has already been nominated for the opening match of the World Cup on 9th June 2006, and it was anticipated that it would play a major part in the tournament. However, in December 2000 it was decided that rather than modernising Munich's Olympic Stadium, a new stadium would be built for World Cup 2006. Organisers of World Cup 2006 are hoping that local clubs Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 will help finance this new stadium If finance cannot be found, there is a possibility that Munich will loose out on any matches in the competition Population : 1.3 Million The Stadium : Allianz Arena Seating Capacity : 66,000 seats Matches in Munich
