The Waldstadion hosted West Germany's semi-final victory over Poland back in 1974, but the quarter-finals are as far as the tournament goes this time around in Frankfurt.

The Waldstadion, now known as the Commerzbank-Arena, has undergone an almost complete reconstruction in the last three-and-a-half-years and will have a capacity of just under 43,500 for the finals.

The stadium has already hosted one major football event in the last 12 months, with the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup final between Brazil and Argentina taking place in Frankfurt.

That day Brazil ran out convincing 4-1 victors.

Frankfurt's World Cup kicks off with England against Paraguay on June 10 and three days later 2002 joint hosts and semi-finalists, South Korea, meet first-time finalists Togo.

Four days further on, Portugal take on Iran in Frankfurt and four days later what promises to be one of the highlights of the group stages takes place at the Commerzbank-Arena.

The Netherlands face Argentina in the final round of games in Group C.

On July 1, Frankfurt says goodbye to the World Cup finals with the fourth and last quarter-final of the tournament.
