Visit the ‘home of football’
The original Wembley Stadium opened its doors in April 1923 and in 2023 English football’s iconic home celebrated its centenary with “Wembley 100”. Over the last hundred years the stadium has hosted some truly incredible moments in football, including England’s 1966 World Cup win and Euro 96. It has also hosted various Uefa Champions League finals – and will again in 2024. Visitors can soak up Wembley’s football history, taking in the UK’s largest football stadium on a 90-minute guided tour. Take your picture in Europe’s largest press conference room, find the shirt of your favourite England player in the dressing rooms, and line up in the players tunnel before following in the footsteps of legends and walking out pitch-side.
