The insurance and asset management moguls now have a collection of stadiums in their name around the world, with this being the fourth major European venue to take its name. Most famously, Bayern Munich's home ground is the Allianz Arena, while Juventus play at the Allianz Stadium. n 2012, deals were reached to rename the Sydney Football Stadium to Allianz Stadium and to name Nice's new stadium, Allianz Riviera. It is unknown at current what West Ham will officially call the London Stadium – though it could be called the Allianz Stadium London or something similar.

Re: new stadium name
It's only called what you choose to call it. I won't be calling it anything with a sponsor's name in it.
