📝 History of Wembley Stadium

The original Wembley Stadium opened in 1923, instantly becoming a national landmark thanks to its famous Twin Towers. It hosted some of the most historic moments in sporting and cultural history, including the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final, England’s greatest footballing achievement, as well as Olympic events and iconic concerts such as Live Aid in 1985.

After decades of use, the old stadium closed in 2000 and was demolished to make way for a modern replacement. The current Wembley Stadium opened in 2007, built to world-class standards and crowned by a 133-metre-high steel arch, now visible across much of North West London.

Since reopening, Wembley has hosted Champions League Finals, Euro 2020 matches including the final, domestic cup finals, and record-breaking sporting crowds. It has also become a premier global concert venue, hosting multi-night residencies for major international artists. Today, Wembley is both a symbol of English sporting heritage and a modern, commercially powerful mega-venue.
