TAP Opened in 2007 to replace the historic 1923 original, Wembley Stadium is primarily used as the home ground of the English National Football Team and all major English football cup finals. Since opening, Wembley Stadium has played host to a number of major international sporting events including the 2012 Summer Olympics, 2015 Rugby World Cup as well as hosting the final of next year’s Euro Football Championship. The stadium is also a popular concert venue for both local and international musicians, with many live concert albums having been recorded at the venue.
Upon exiting Wembley Park station the first thing visitors are likely to see is Wembley Stadium’s famous 133 metre tall arch towering over the surrounding area. The match day experience begins as visitors make their way down Wembley Way, a great place to soak up atmosphere before an event.

The stadium’s seating bowl is spread over three tiers with the third, upper tier, especially towards the front, offering visitors excellent value for money.
