Abandoned UK stadium that hosted FA Cup finals set to be revived with £130 million

The Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in south London, which hosted FA Cup finals from 1895 to 1914 and events featuring Usain Bolt, Coldplay, and Bruce Springsteen, is set for a £130 million redevelopment. The stadium closed in November 2022 due to safety concerns. Plans by the Greater London Authority and Mayor Sadiq Khan, pending approval by Bromley Council, include a 15,500-seat stadium (expandable to 24,000), a new gym, padel courts, five-a-side football pitches, a 200-metre running track, and an artificial multi-sports pitch. Work is expected to be complete by 2029, with full stadium renovation by 2030. The project has received 390 supportive comments and 406 objections from local residents.
