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

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.
