‘Wembley Pass’ to commemorate 90th anniversary of English football’s home
Wembley Stadium will mark its 90th anniversary next Sunday with the ‘Wembley Pass’ which will see the official match ball of the FA Cup final head from the showpiece’s first venue, the Oval, to the current home of the final.
Kicking off from The Oval on Saturday, the trail to Wembley will see players, musicians, football freestylers and fans come together to deliver this year’s match ball to the iconic stadium.
The official Nike match ball will travel on a glass-sided truck through the streets of London via various landmarks including the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace.
Along the road to Wembley, the match ball will be kept moving with the help of the Red Bull Street Style champions.
At key points along the route, including the Kennington football pitches, London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Wembley Way, the truck will stop allowing fans to enjoy the experience.
There will be the opportunity for fans to have their photo taken with the Cup and the match ball and interact with football freestylers, football legends and more.
