FA Cup final will be at Wembley

<font size="2">The Football Association has confirmed the new &pound;800m Wembley Stadium will host this year's FA Cup final on 19 May. </font>

<font size="2">Brent Council have given the stadium a general safety certificate after two successful &quot;ramp up&quot; events. </font></p>

<font size="2">A community day was staged for 34,000 people and England under-21s faced Italy in front of nearly 56,000 fans. </font></p>

<font size="2">FA chief executive Brian Barwick said: &quot;I'm happy to confirm that the 2007 FA Cup final, sponsored will be played at Wembley Stadium.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">Barwick added: &quot;It's the announcement that a lot of people have been waiting for and is great news for football fans in this country and indeed the world over. </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;The cup final and Wembley Stadium go hand in hand and everybody at the FA is looking forward to a great day.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">Wembley Stadium managing director Alex Horne said: &quot;We're delighted with the news and I would like to thank Brent Council for their help during this process. </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;We received the keys to the stadium just over a fortnight ago, since then Wembley and the FA's staff have worked incredibly hard to put on two great test events in a very short period of time. </font></p>

<font size="2">&quot;We realise that there is still some way to go yet and are digesting the feedback we have received in order to ensure that coming to Wembley Stadium is a fantastic experience for fans.&quot; </font></p>

<font size="2">Brent Council chief executive Gareth Daniel said: &quot;We are delighted to be able to hand over this safety certificate, which will allow this 90,000-seat Stadium to open, bringing back world-class music and sporting events to Wembley.&quot; The FA also announced that finals of the FA Trophy and the FA Vase will be held at Wembley on 12 and 13 May respectively, at a capped capacity - as part of the build up to the official opening on 19 May. </font></p>
