England's record at Waldstadion, click here

Work started on Frankfurt's new World Cup stadium in 2002 as the city looked to replace the Waldstadion, a venue with a World Cup and sporting heritage.

England were beaten in Frankfurt during Euro '88, their only ever match in the city. Eventual finalists USSR won 3-1. Tony Adams scoring for the Three Lions in what was Glenn Hoddle's last international.  

It was also the venue for six matches the last time Germany hosted the competition in 1974 and 8 years earlier was the setting for Muhammad Ali's heavyweight fight with Karl Mildenberger, the champion stopping his German challenger in the 12th. 

This summer the stadium, which opened in 2005, will host England's first match against Paraguay on 10 June as well as four other games including one of the Quarter Finals.

No stranger to big matches, the new arena with its translucent roof played host to the FIFA Confederations Cup Final between Brazil and Argentina in 2005 when the World Champions triumphed 4-1.
