About Allianz Arena#
Allianz Arena is a football stadium in Munich that opened in 2005 and is the home ground of FC Bayern Munich. It is internationally recognised for its illuminated exterior of inflatable panels and modern stadium design.
Visitors are drawn to the stadium for match-day experiences, architectural interest and guided tours that include the stadium bowl, dressing rooms and the club museum. The façade can be illuminated in club colours and is one of the venue’s most visible features, while the interior includes hospitality suites and modern spectator facilities.
The stadium was built between 2002 and 2005 for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and has been used for domestic and international matches since opening. It replaced older grounds as the primary large-capacity venue for Munich’s top-tier football club.
Allianz Arena is located in the Fröttmaning district to the north of central Munich and is served directly by the U-Bahn (Fröttmaning station) and local road links.
