Wembley is the home of English Football. The original stadium was built in 1923 and known as the Empire Stadium, remembered for its iconic twin towers designed by Sir Robert McAlpine.
The original Wembley Stadium was host to the annual FA Cup and League Cup matches and the Rugby League Challenge Cup since 1929.
Notable other dates in its eighty year history were the London Olympics of 1948, the memorable 1966 World Cup Final which England won against Germany score 4-2 after extra time. The Rugby League World Cup Finals of 1992 & 96 and the Finals of the European Championships in 1996.
Pelé said, “Wembley is the cathedral of football. It is the capital of football and it is the heart of football”, in acknowledgment of Wembley’s position as the world’s best-known football stadium.
In 2003 the stadium and its iconic twin towers was demolished to make way for the stadium we have today with its radial arch designed by Foster & Partners. Opening in 2007 and with a seating capacity of 90,000 Wembley Stadium still retains its world class status as a top sporting venue.
Although we are nearly at the end of the year Wembley Stadium, is still host to some great sporting action!
