Wembley Stadium is set to undergo multi-million-pound works on its roof before the beginning of the World Cup in June.
Home of the England national team, Wembley has also been spoken about in terms of a ground which could introduce safe standing.
The atmosphere at the London-based venue has been criticised massively in recent times, even by current Three Lions head coach Thomas Tuchel.
With England breezing through the qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup, the lack of jeopardy did not help the noise levels at Wembley.
Tuchel's troops marched through a section containing the likes of Andorra and Albania, winning every match and failing to concede a single goal.
England return to action during the March international break, with home games against Uruguay and Japan on the cards.
Wembley propose plans for £2m roof upgrades
As per London Now, Wembley Stadium is set to undergo some improvements during the first half of 2026, with the World Cup approaching for the national team.
Wembley National Stadium Limited has submitted proposals for £2m roofworks on the iconic home of football.
The project is set to begin at some point in February, finishing before Tuchel's side head off to North America for the World Cup in June.
An application has been submitted to Brent Council for air handling units to be installed, condensers and ducting for the stadium on the north side of the roof, which would require some work to take place on the top of the stadium.
The plans, submitted by Wembley National Stadium Limited through planning consultants Lichfields, detail will include the installation of two air handling units, four condensers and associated ducting at the upper level of the stadium.
A continuous line of galvanised steel acoustic screening, powder-coated in silver or grey, is also proposed to help reduce noise from the new equipment.
FGG says: Much-needed works
Opening in March 2007, Wembley Stadium is approaching its 20-year anniversary, which brings about celebrations as well as challenges.
The Brent-based venue is beginning to show signs of ageing, with the company in charge of the stadium keen to improve conditions on the roof.
The FA will want Wembley to be home of the England national team for decades to come, so improving the facilities is extremely important.
And who knows, 2026 could be the year that Wembley is fitted with a modernised roof and the installation of a second World Cup in its trophy cabinet.
