Stadium Information
Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich, is one of the most recognisable football stadiums in the world and a symbol of modern German stadium design. Opened in 2005 on the northern edge of Munich, the venue is famous for its unique ETFE panel exterior, which can be illuminated in different colours to reflect the team playing.
With a capacity of over seventy-five thousand for domestic matches, the stadium features a natural grass pitch and steep, continuous tiers that provide excellent sightlines and strong acoustics. The bowl design keeps supporters close to the action, creating a powerful and immersive matchday environment. Matchdays at the Allianz Arena are defined by organisation, scale and intensity.
Fans arrive via the U-Bahn and approach the stadium along wide pedestrian esplanades that gradually reveal the glowing façade. Inside, the atmosphere builds steadily, with Bayern’s core
support concentrated behind the goals and banners stretching across entire sections. The stadium offers a wide range of food and drink options, modern concourses and extensive hospitality areas, reflecting Germany’s emphasis on comfort and efficiency.
Night matches are particularly striking as the illuminated exterior dominates the skyline. The stadium is served by U-Bahn line U6 via Fröttmaning station and is easily accessible by road from the Munich ring motorway, with large parking facilities nearby. Accessibility features include step-free access, lifts, wheelchair seating platforms, adapted toilets and dedicated support services.
The surrounding area is largely purpose-built, focusing attention on the stadium itself. For Bayern Munich, the Allianz Arena represents dominance, modernity and global ambition, serving as a fitting home for Germany’s most successful football club.
