The use of Wembley Stadium​ is a contractual matter between private companies but I understand The FA are in active discussions with both clubs. ​I would ​encourage both ​​Tottenham and Chelsea to maintain an active dialogue with The FA on how best to achieve thisgoal, with a view to supporting the redevelopment of both clubs’ grounds.
