Multiplex has now supplied WNSL and The FA with an updated schedule. From the new schedule it is apparent that Wembley will not be available to host our autumn fixtures.

We do not want to set deadlines on when the stadium will open and be faced with the constant speculation surrounding this as we approach individual fixtures. Therefore, we believe it is important that we are transparent with our plans.

The FA is taking the prudent measure of booking new venues for all of our fixtures until the year end.

The fixtures listed below will be played at alternative venues which will be publicly announced by The FA once they are confirmed:

13th August FA Community Shield
16th August England friendly international
2nd September England v Andorra – Euro 2008 Qualifier
7th October England v Macedonia - Euro 2008 Qualifier

The FA and WNSL continue to meet with banks and other key stakeholders to discuss the current status of the project and ensure we have the appropriate plans in place moving forward.
