Allianz Arena - football (soccer) stadium, photo wallpapers - Megawallpapers.org: The Allianz Arena is a football (soccer) stadium in the north of Munich. The Allianz group, a large financial services provider, bought the rights to name the arena for 30 years, but it will nevertheless be known as "FIFA World Cup Stadium Munich" during the 2006 World Cup, since FIFA does not allow sponsorship of stadium names. FC Bayern München will also be required to cover up the stadium name during UEFA Champions League Cup games due to similar restrictions of UEFA. During UEFA Cup games the stadium will be known as "Munich Arena".
