Wembley returns to centre stage

Wembley Stadium has been selected to host the 2011 UEFA Champions League final. The decision was taken by the UEFA Executive Committee at its meeting in Nyon and sees the highlight of European football's club calendar return to Wembley for a record sixth time, the first at the new stadium.

Wembley has undergone a massive transformation since it last hosted the European Champion Clubs' Cup final in 1992, but the new stadium has lost none of its prestige. The famous twin towers have made way for an iconic arch over the stadium, which has been totally rebuilt and is now one of the most modern and breathtaking arenas in the world. Boasting a seated capacity of 90,000, the new Wembley reopened its doors in 2007 and is once again home to the England national side, as well as host to the nation's premier domestic cup finals.
