RheinEnergieStadion

About

RheinEnergieStadion, formerly Müngersdorfer Stadion (German pronunciation: [ˌʁaɪnʔenɛʁˈɡiːˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn]) or Müngersdorfer Stadium, is a German football stadium in Cologne. It was built on the site of the two previous Müngersdorfer stadiums. It is the home of the local 1. Bundesliga team, 1. FC Köln. The stadium was one of eight stadiums to host UEFA Euro 1988. It was one of five stadiums hosting both the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup, hosted the 2020 UEFA Europa League final behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, and was one of ten host stadia for the UEFA Euro 2024. Local energy company RheinEnergie AG currently holds the naming rights to the stadium; hence it was known as the Stadion Köln for the final.
