England's national football stadium in north-west London, owned and run by the Football Association through its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd.
Wembley Stadium is the national football stadium of England and the largest stadium in the UK, with about 90,000 seats. Wikipedia says the Football Association (FA) owns it through a subsidiary, Wembley National Stadium Ltd, which also operates it. It is the home of England home matches, the FA Cup Final and the EFL Cup Final, and it has staged Champions League finals (2011, 2013 and 2024), matches at Euro 2020 including the final, NFL London Games, boxing, rugby and large concerts. It is due to host matches at Euro 2028. Since 2014 the stadium has carried the sponsor's name and is officially called Wembley Stadium connected by EE.
The current stadium opened in 2007 on the site of the original Wembley, which was built in less than a year as the centrepiece of the 1923 British Empire Exhibition. That first stadium hosted the 1923 FA Cup Final, England's first international at the ground in 1924, the 1966 World Cup final and the 1985 Live Aid concert. Its last football match was in 2000. The new stadium was designed by Foster + Partners and HOK Sport, now Populous. Its most famous feature is a 133 metre arch that supports much of the roof, with sliding roof panels that cover every seat. We found no mission statement for the stadium company itself, so we have not invented one. The FA's own 2023 centenary article marked 100 years of what it called history-making moments.
Wembley is in north-west London, served by Wembley Park, Wembley Central and Wembley Stadium stations. Parking is very limited, so most visitors arrive by public transport. The FA also has its Wembley Stadium Advisory Board listed in its governance pages, and the FA's careers site lists posts as based at the stadium. The stadium is therefore both a venue open to the public and a workplace for people employed by the FA group.
We could not read a culture or values page for Wembley National Stadium Ltd, and the one job listing we opened gave no description of the working environment. What we can say from public coverage is that the work is built around match days and event days, when thousands of people arrive at once, so teamwork and calm decision-making matter. If you want to know what the working atmosphere is like, look for stadium tours, open days and the FA's own careers pages.
Job titles advertised for the FA at Wembley on a sports job board in 2025 and 2026 included event management coordinator, assistant events manager, event technical manager, crowd safety support, security manager, ticketing operations manager and hospitality operations coordinator. They show that a stadium needs more than football fans: event planning, crowd safety and security, technical production, ticketing, hospitality and revenue operations all feature. Those titles are examples taken from listings, not a full list, so the FA careers site is the place to check what is open now.
