Where is Wembley Stadium
Tuesday - 19th September 2006
Wembley Stadium is a stadium in Wembley, located in the London Borough of Brent in London, England. It is owned by the Football Association via its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Limited, and its primary use is for home games of the England national football team, and the main English domestic football finals. It is also used for pop concerts and other sporting events.
With 90,000 seats the stadium has the second largest capacity in Europe , and the largest in the world with every seat under cover[1]. Following its opening, it has often been referred to as the "new Wembley Stadium" to distinguish it from the original stadium. The stadium is also the most expensive stadium ever built.[2]
The previous Wembley Stadium was one of the world's most famous football stadia, being England's national stadium for football, and because of the geographical origins of the game was often referred to as "The Home of Football". It hosted the European Cup final a record five times, and is one of seventeen stadia to have held a FIFA World Cup final. In 2003, the original structure was demolished and construction began on the new stadium, originally intended to open in 2006. This was later delayed until early 2007. The final completion date of the stadium came on 9 March 2007, when the keys to the stadium were handed over to the FA.
