More about Wembley Stadium
Wembley Stadium is the centrepiece of English football, holding host to the national teams, as well as annual F.A Cup final, League Cup final and the Community Shield.
Originally built in 1923, the old Wembley Stadium was demolished in 2003, and construction began for the new stadium. It officially opened on the 19th of May 2007, with the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United (1-0).
The iconic ‘Wembley Arch’ is easy to spot from miles away. At 133 metres tall and with a span of 315 metres, it is the longest single span roof structure in the world. The total cost of construction was estimated to be £757 million, with the sliding roof also making it the largest fully covered stadium in the world. When weather conditions aren’t favourable the roof shelters each of the 90,000 seats, and is also used when Wembley hosts other events like concerts and sports such as boxing and American football.

Tours of the Stadium are available to take you behind the scenes of the historic venue—and we even offer 2FOR1 stadium tours if you travel there by train.
