Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena will be renamed the "Munich Football Arena" for tonight's Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
The temporary name change is required under UEFA regulations which state the home club must provide a "clean stadium" for fixtures.
This means there must be no branding or sponsor in the name of the stadium during UEFA competitions. The regulation has also seen Arsenal have to rename the Emirates whilst in the Champions League.
The requirement ensures no commercial sponsorship is displayed during Europe's premier club competition.
