FOOTBALL STADIA
Sixteen cities put themselves forward as potential venues for matches during World Cup 2006. In April 2002, the LOC submitted twelve of these to FIFA for consideration.
The twelve cities named as host venues are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Nuremburg, Leipzig, Cologne, Stuttgart, Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen and Kaiserslautern.
The criteria for selecting the twelve venues for the 2006 World Cup were very tough. The 141-pages catalogue of criteria "Stadium 2006" is the basis for evaluation.
Requirements for the 2006 World Cup stadiums included:
Capacity - At least 40,000 seats for first round and quarter-final matches; at least 60,000 seats for the opening match, semi-finals, the third place play-off and final.
