    The design of the stadium was in the hands of two internationally renowned architectural firms, Foster and Partners and HOK Sport (now known as Populous). Populous is an international company with headquarters in Kansas City that specializes in the design of sports stadiums and has designed stadiums all around the world, including the new “Tottenha...

    The main contractor of the stadium was the Australian construction company “Multiplex.” Their most famous projects are “The Emirates Towers” in Dubai, and “Australia 108” in Melbourne, the tallest building in Australia. What should have been one of their most prestigious projects actually turned out to become a major fiasco. Because of multiple del...

    Apart from the delays regarding the starting date of construction, there were various other problems as well. One of the sub-contractors, “Cleveland Bridge,” suddenly withdrew from the project and had to be replaced by Dutch firm “Hollandia.” There was also a huge issue regarding safety as a fatal accident happened in 2004 when a carpenter lost his...

    Before the old Wembley was constructed in the early 1920s, another project had been constructed on the location of the stadium. At least, an attempt was made! The level of the pitch of the new stadium was lower than the old one, so the engineers had to excavate a bit deeper and stumbled upon the remains of the foundation of the “Watkin’s Tower.” Th...
