Stuttgart hosts four 1st round games, a second
round match and the third place play-off in the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion - the home of VfB Stuttgart.
World Cup Schedule.
The Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion

most eye-catching feature of the stadium is the spectacular steel-cable truss construction
of the membrane roof which protects every seat from the elements.
Formerly known as the Neckar Stadium, the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium is
owned and run by the City
of Stuttgart. The arena will host a total of six matches in the 2006 World Cup
Finals and has undergone further modernisation for the event. Seating capacity is 54,000,
although 57,000 fans can get in to the stadium when standing areas are included.
