Munich is home to several professional sports teams, including Germany's most popular football club, FC Bayern. Furthermore, the city is home to FC Bayern's professional basketball team and professional hockey team EHC Red Bull München. The Munich area currently has one team in the Bundesliga system, which comprises the two top divisions of German football.
Munich was one of the cities named for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Allianz Arena was built to host the matches played in Munich instead of Olympic Stadium.
The following games were played at the stadium during the tournament:
The Games were largely overshadowed by what has come to be known as the Munich massacre. On 5 September, a group of eight Palestinian terrorists belonging to the Black September organization broke into the Olympic Village and took eleven Israeli athletes, coaches and officials hostage in their apartments. Two of the hostages who resisted were killed in the first moments of the break-in; the subsequent standoff in the Olympic Village lasted for almost 18 hours.
On 22 June 2010, the International Olympic Committee selected Munich as one of the three candidate cities for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, along with Annecy (in France) and Pyeongchang (in South Korea). If chosen, Munich would have been the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Pyeongchang was announced as the host after receiving 63 votes, with Munich finishing second after receiving 25 votes.[1]
