Wembley Stadium, National sports stadium in Wembley, England
The white steel arch rising 135 meters above the stadium serves as a prominent architectural feature visible across North London's skyline.
The current structure, opened in 2007, replaced the original 1923 stadium that hosted the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final and the 1948 Olympic Games.
The stadium functions as England's national football ground and regularly hosts FA Cup finals, international matches, and large-scale entertainment performances.
The retractable roof system protects all 90,000 seats from weather conditions and can fully close within 60 minutes when necessary.
The stadium's structural arch spans 315 meters, making it the longest single-span roof structure in any stadium worldwide.
