We Are Creating History

Wembley Stadium was England's national football stadium, located in Wembley Park in Brent, London, United Kingdom.

It also served as the final venue for England's national team and cup competitions under The Football Association.

Built in 1923, it was originally called Empire Stadium, and its iconic twin towers were demolished in 2003.

It was torn down and rebuilt in 2000, completed in 2007 at a cost of £780 million.

The new stadium was a circular venue nearly 300 meters in diameter, with 90,000 seats. It was Europe's second-largest stadium, behind only Camp Nou.

The stadium also had as many as 2,618 toilets, holding the record for the most of any stadium in the world.

The first football match held at Wembley Stadium was the FA Cup final on April 28, 1923.

And today marked the eighty-fifth FA Cup final hosted by this stadium.

All across London, red spread from the moment people emerged from the Underground stations.

The crowds at Wembley Park Station had been operating beyond capacity since two in the afternoon.

A train arrived every three minutes, and whenever the doors opened, most of those pouring out were fans.

Liverpool's red shirts and Arsenal's red-and-white shirts were like two rivers of different colors meeting at the station exit before flowing in the same direction along Wembley Way.

Liverpool supporters carried an enormous banner at the front of the crowd: Quadruple Crown, Creating English Football History.

The main body followed behind it. The fans moved in unison, holding their scarves high above their heads and singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" together.

They marched onward in a magnificent display.

Stalls along the street sold grilled sausages and onion rings, and the smoky aroma of charred oil filled the entire road.
