During this match, the French won their second World Cup final in their history thanks to their national hero, Zinédine Zidane.Īfter this successful World Cup, Bayern made the Allianz Arena their property when TSV 1860 Munich was forced to sell its shares following a financial crisis that affected the club. The stadium even hosted the semi-final between France and Portugal.
Four years later, on June 9, 2006, the Allianz Arena was the venue for the opening ceremony and match of the 2006 World Cup, between Germany and Costa Rica. In 2002, the project took shape when the foundation stone for the stadium was laid. As Germany needs to have the best infrastructure to host such a major event, it has undertaken numerous stadium renovation projects, such as the Signal Iduna Park, the legendary stadium of Borussia Dortmund.įor Munich, a project to build a new stadium to host some of the World Cup matches as well as those of Bayern and TSV Munich 1860 in the Bundesliga emerged. On July 6, 2000, Germany was chosen as the host country for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. During their 33 years at the Olympiastadion, Bayern won 18 Bundesliga titles, 11 German Cups and four European Champion Clubs' Cups. Bayern, then playing at the Olympic Stadium in Munich with TSV Munich 180, changed completely and became one of the biggest clubs in Europe. With these icons, Bayern won three more Bundesliga titles in 1972, 19, and then achieved a resounding treble in the UEFA Champions League in 1974, 19, following three years of reign by Ajax of Amsterdam in the most prestigious of competitions. At that time, Bayern held only 2 Bundesliga titles and various German clubs took turns to win the German championship.ĭuring the 1970s, Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Sepp Maier, three iconic figures of German football both with the West German team and with Bayern, joined the Bavarian club. In 1972, Bayern Munich became the occupant of the Olympic Stadium in Munich: a unique architectural stadium originally built for the Munich 72 Olympic Games. In the summer of 2022, when Sadio Mané arrived from Liverpool, the name of the African champion from Senegal was even displayed on the shell of the Allianz Arena. On the occasion of the creation of the 100th Bayern supporters' club in the USA and the American bank holidays of Independence Day, the Allianz Arena was also transformed into a giant American flag. The stadium has also been transformed into a huge Ukrainian flag or a multi-coloured flag as a sign of support for the Ukrainian people and the LGBT community. On match nights, the Allianz Arena is lit up in Bayern colours. This design gives it the German nickname of Schlauchboot. Its facade is equipped with cushions that are kept inflated by a constant flow of pressurised air, giving it the appearance of a gigantic inflatable boat. Modern and avant-garde, the Allianz Arena also has a unique design that makes it an architectural masterpiece. This match will take place on November 13, 2022. This ownership allows it to generate a lot of revenue on Bayern's match nights or on the occasion of major events such as the relocated NFL match between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks. Today, Bayern Munich owns its own stadium in the same way as Real Madrid owns Santiago Bernabeu, Barça owns Camp Nou and Liverpool owns Anfield. The most successful club in the history of the Bundesliga shared the stadium with TSV Munich 1860 until 2017, when they became the sole occupant. Historically, the Allianz Arena is not just Bayern's stadium. With a capacity of 75,000, the Allianz Arena has been the home of Bayern Munich since 2005, the year of its inauguration.
