Stop the FA from selling Wembley Stadium to NFL team owner Shahid Khan.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Wembley Stadium is an iconic national football stadium that has a deep-rooted history. It is a profitable enterprise with the costs of the stadium development expected to be paid off in 2024 - we believe that it should not be sold to any foreign buyer.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Any decision about selling Wembley Stadium is the responsibility of the Football Association, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could contact the FA directly about this issue:

You could start a new petition to ask the UK Government to urge the FA not to sell Wembley Stadium.
