At its meeting in December 2003 in Frankfurt, the Organising Committee for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany approved the match schedule for the final competition to be held from 9 June to 9 July 2006.
The committee acceded to the wishes of the local organising committee to stage the opening match in Munich and the final in Berlin. The two semi-finals will take place in Munich and Dortmund.
Eight venues will each host five matches, while Berlin, Dortmund, Munich and Stuttgart will each have the honour of an extra sixth match. Furthermore, in the group stage, no team will play in the same stadium twice, and there will also be at least two days in between matches in the same stadium. In addition, each venue will play host to two matches featuring one of the top-seeded teams.
