The Football Association is hatching plans to build a ‘World Football Museum’ at Wembley Stadium.
A planning application has been submitted to Brent Council in north-west London for permission to construct a building to display exhibits including a crossbar from the 1966 World Cup Final.
‘The new World Football Museum will house a unique private collection of football memorabilia which has been assembled over many years,’ the FA’s planning application says.
The FA expects up to 1,200 visitors through the doors every match day. The stadium stages up to 30 games and other events each year.
The new museum will be in the pedestrianised Olympic Way – known to fans as Wembley Way – near the stadium’s entrance.
The plans envisage a space half the size of the National Football Museum in Manchester, which opened in July.
FA sources said the plans were still in their ‘early days’. One said: ‘Like all potential ideas there are lots of hurdles along the way.’
