The Allianz Arena is a stadium that brings the audience close to the match on the field, an architectural masterpiece, and symbol of the city of Munich.

"After such a successful decade we are looking forward to the next few years, especially as another major event in the Allianz Arena is coming up: the European Football Championship in 2020." The Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern and 1860 Munich, reaches ten years of age a week after the end of the Bundesliga. After two years of construction the Allianz Arena the two opening games took place on May 30-31, 2005. Since then Philipp Lahm was on the field 205 times, making him the most selected player in the Allianz Arena.

The poll, now in its sixth year, gives the users of uefa.com, Europe’s football website, the chance to select a team of players who made their mark in European football over the last 12 months. Sixty players and managers have been nominated for 12 positions, including coach, and the final team will be announced on 19 January 2007 on uefa.com and in the January issue of Champions magazine.

The uefa.com Team of the Year is not intended as a rival to more established awards, and does not bear the official UEFA imprimatur. Nevertheless, it has already proved hugely popular with fans, and over eight million votes have been cast in previous polls. European champions FC Barcelona have the most nominees with eleven, while UEFA Champions League runners-up Arsenal have seven.
