The recently rebuilt Zentralstadion will have a capacity of just under 39,000 for this summer's World Cup finals.

The new-build replaces the old Zentralstadion, which was built in 1956 and which housed up to 100,000 fans, with the city of Leipzig having claims to be the home of German football.

The German Football Association was founded in Leipzig in 1900 and VfB Leipzig won the first national title three years later.

Leipzig's opening game sees Serbia & Montenegro play the Netherlands on June 11 and three days later Spain take on Ukraine at the Zentralstadion.

1998 champions France and joint hosts and 2002 semi-finalists South Korea clash on June 18 and a further three days on Iran and Angola bring their Group D campaigns to a close in Leipzig.

The Zentralstadion's final game of the tournament is a Round of 16 clash on June 24, between the winners of Group C and the runners-up in Group D.
