Wembley Stadium

Location: London, England
Capacity: 90,000

Wembley Stadium is officially branded as Wembley Stadium connected by EE for sponsorship reasons (although no one actually refers to it by this name because…well why would you call this legendary stadium anything else?). It is located in Wembley, London, and is primarily used as a football stadium. Opened in 2007, on the site of the original Wembley Stadium, which was demolished from 2002 to 2003. The stadium hosts major football matches including home matches of the England national football team, and the FA Cup Final. The stadium was also the temporary home of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur between August 2017 and March 2019, while White Hart Lane was being demolished and their new stadium was constructed.

Wembley Stadium is the home of and owned by the governing body of English football, the Football Association (the FA), through its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd (WNSL). With 90,000 seats, it is the largest football stadium in England, the largest stadium in the UK and the second-largest stadium in Europe.

In addition to England home games and the FA Cup final, the stadium also hosts other major games in English football, including the season-opening FA Community Shield, the League Cup final, the FA Cup semi-finals, the Football League Trophy, and the Football League play-offs. As a UEFA category four stadium, Wembley also hosted the 2011 and 2013 UEFA Champions League Finals, and will host seven games at UEFA Euro 2020, (including the final and both of the semi-finals), as well as the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final.

The stadium also hosts rugby league’s Challenge Cup final, NFL London Games and music concerts. Many fans agree that Wembley provides an electric atmosphere, especially when sold out.
