The effective capacity of some of the stadia in the World Cup, in particular the "[[Sigal Iduna Park|FIFA World Cup Stadium, Dortmund]]", will be lower than the figures quoted, as the [[Bundesliga (football)|Bundesliga]] regulations allow for [[Terrace (building)|terracing]] in stadia but the [[FIFA]] rules do not, and hence seating will have to be installed in the terraced areas for the World Cup thus reducing the capacity somewhat.

Also, during the World Cup proper, many of the stadiums will be officially known by different names, as FIFA prohibits [[naming rights|sponsorship]] of stadium names. For example, Allianz Arena will be known during the competition as "FIFA World Cup Stadium, Munich" (or german: "FIFA WM-Stadion München").

It is perhaps noteworthy that of the twelve hosting cities, all but one ([[Leipzig]]) are in what was [[West Germany]].

==Teams==
The field for the 2006 World Cup has been finalized. The following teams have qualified (shown by region):

== Groups ==

The seeded teams for the 2006 cup are as follows.  By prior agreement, {{nft|Germany}} was seeded into Group A.  The remaining seeds were announced on [[December 5]], [[2005]]; they are: 
* {{ENGf}}
* {{ARGf}}
* {{MEXf}}
* {{ITAf}}
* {{BRAf}}
* {{FRAf}}
* {{ESPf}}.  

The unseeded teams were divided into three pots according to geography — Pot B contained 8 of the 9 remaining European sides, excluding {{nft|Serbia and Montenegro}}.  Pot C contained the five African entries, as well as {{nft|Ecuador}}, {{nft|Paraguay}}, and {{nft|Australia}}; Pot D contained sides from Asia and the CONCACAF region.  A special pot contained Serbia and Montenegro; this was done to ensure that no group contained 3 European teams.

On [[December 9]], [[2005]] the draw was held and the group assignments announced.  Group E, with {{nft|Italy}}, the {{nft|Czech Republic}}, the {{nft|United States}}, and {{nft|Ghana}}, is already regarded as a [[group of death]], as any two of the four could conceiveably advance to the second round; the same could be said of Group C, with {{nft|Argentina}}, {{nft|Côte d'Ivoire}}, {{nft|Serbia and Montenegro}} and the {{nft|Netherlands}}.

The draw was parodied by an online advertisement for [[Carlsberg]] lager as part of their long-running ''If Carlsberg made .... it would probably be the best ... in the world''' series, in which Germany, traditional opponents (and the usual nemesis) of England in World Cup fixtures, find themselves drawn in the same group as Brazil, Argentina and France whereas England's group is comprised of [[Lapland]], [[Outer Mongolia]] and [[Vatican City]].
