No Wembley announcement today

The English Football Association will not make any announcement on the new Wembley Stadium until tomorrow at the earliest.

Although some reports had claimed an announcement was expected today, the lengthy process of signing all the contracts meant tomorrow was always a more likely date.

FA spokesman Paul Newman said: “We are aware of the speculation about an announcement today, but there will be no new developments today.

“All the parties are continuing to carry out the necessary work to complete the detailed documentation.”
