Last year, we visited Wembley Stadium, home to the England national team and the second-largest football stadium in Europe. While the tour was packed with football history, this detail amazed us the most!
In 2020, Wembley completed a £9 million upgrade, including a brand-new England men's first-team dressing room—designed with two crucial features requested by then-Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate himself.
First, the usual rectangular shape with sharp corners was replaced with an oval design, ensuring that every player could see their teammates without any obstruction.
Second, a new rule—no two players from the same club could sit next to each other. Why? Because for years, club rivalries created divides in the squad.
And guess what? These small changes made a huge impact! Since then, England has won 42 out of 67 games, lost only 10, and reached back-to-back Euro finals in 2020 and 2024!
