During the World Cup, many of the stadiums will be officially known by different names, as FIFA prohibits sponsorship of stadium names. For example, Allianz Arena will be known during the competition as "FIFA World Cup Stadium, Munich" (or in German: "FIFA WM-Stadion München"). These new names are reflected in the table. Twelve hosting stadia, all but one (Leipzig), are in the former West Germany.
