“We are thrilled to receive RIBA Awards this year for two very different projects in the UK. Wembley Stadium symbolises all that is great about football and occupies an essential place in British sporting history, while providing world-class facilities on a unique scale.''
RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architecture) Foster and Partners won a RIBA award for the design of this building, the building was bult by Multiplex and funded by Sport England WNSL (Wembley National Stadium Limited), the Football Association, the Department for Culture Media and Sport and the London Development Agency.
