2 WORLD CLASS NATIONAL VENUES
We’re proud of our iconic Wembley Stadium… the national stadium of England, the home of English football and host to a wide range of other iconic world-class events. With 90,000 seats, it’s the largest sports venue in the UK, and the second largest in Europe. Our National Football Centre, St. George’s Park in Staffordshire provides a unique setting to develop and inspire high performing teams and leaders.
2x MORE WOMEN AND GIRLS PLAYING AND WATCHING
That’s double in just the last four seasons. Imagine what we can do for women’s football in the next four! We’re determined that in England, football must be a game where the opportunities for every girl to play are the same as for every boy.
