What is the history of Wembley Stadium?

Wembley Stadium was officially opened by King George V on 23 April 1924, but it actually hosted its first FA Cup final in 1923, when 200,000 spectators watched Bolton Wanderers FC defeat West Ham United FC 2-0.

The original stadium was demolished in 2003, making way for the current Wembley Stadium which reopened in May 2007 on the same site. The iconic stadium has a striking 133-metre-high (436ft) arch which is renowned across the globe.

Boasting a legendary history, Wembley hosted the 1948 Olympic Games, the final of EURO 1996, eight of the UEFA EURO 2020 games including the final and the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 final. It is the home of the England national football team, as well as the FA Cup Final and Semi Finals.

It also regularly hosts NFL games and epic music concerts, with past performers including Beyonce, Madonna, Ed Sheeran and Bruce Springsteen.
