FIFA World CupMunich - Allianz ArenaOne of five new stadia built for the World Cup, the 59,000 capacity Allianz Arena cost the most at £190m. The three-tiered ground north of Munich will host the tournament's first match. It is quite a sight, both inside and out where a spectacular translucent facade, made up of 2,874 panels, is lit up at night in a variety of colours. Munich's rival teams - Bayern and TSV 1860 - share the stadium. But it was Englishman Owen Hargreaves who scored the ground's first Bundesliga goal.
