The data is fed to the app via Bundesliga subsidiary company Sportec Solutions, which is helped on by its partnership with ChyronHego, who introduced new visual tracking technology which allows for more accurate data acquisition. Ownership The builder and owner of the Volkswagen Arena has always been the Wolfsburg AG. In 2002, the stadium was handed over to the VfL Wolfsburg-Fußball GmbH, which has been responsible for its operation ever since. 100 percent of the shares in the company are held by Volkswagen AG, which also sponsors the VfL Wolfsburg men's, women's and youth teams. Volkswagen's commitment to VfL Wolfsburg was already the subject of media reports before the construction of the Volkswagen Arena. In recent years, the link between the Volkswagen Group and the football club has also been discussed several times. The financing of the Volkswagen Arena was split evenly between Volkswagen and Wolfsburg AG. Given that Volkswagen also owns half of the shares of Wolfsburg AG, the city of Wolfsburg owns a calculated share of 25 percent. The Norddeutsche Landesbank provided a loan running into millions of euros for the financing of the Volkswagen Arena, which is to be repaid over the course of 29 years. Matches The first international match of the Germany national football team in the Volkswagen Arena to date was held on 1 June 2003, when Germany defeated the Canada national team with a final score of 4–1. It was the only match for Die Mannschaft there until 20 March 2019, when they held an international friendly against the Serbia national football team, with a final score of 1-1. This match marked as the kick off of Germany's new partnership with Volkswagen. Furthermore, the men's national teams of Poland and Croatia played at the stadium in the run-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, when Poland won the friendly match with a final score of 1–0.

The temporary renaming of the stadium was welcomed by the operators because it attracted more attention to the Allerpark, thus enabling it to become better known. The German women's national football team was eliminated from the tournament with a 1–0 loss against
