Dortmund hosts four 1st round games, a second round
match and the first semi-final in Westfalenstadion - the home of Borussia Dortmund.
World Cup Schedule.
Originally built for the 1974
World Cup in Germany, Dortmund's Westfalenstadion was considered the German Football
Association's (DFB) 'trump card' in its application to host the finals of the 2006 World
Cup - all spectators have a view of the pitch, as the yellow pylons hold up the roof from
the outside.
With room for 83,000 supporters Westfalenstadion's capacity is reduced
to 66,000 for international matches, when the stadium needs to be all-seater.
