RFU Abandons Plans for Twickenham Sale, Opts for £663M Revamp

The Rugby Football Union has decided against selling Twickenham Stadium, choosing instead to focus on a comprehensive £663 million redevelopment plan.

RFU considered selling Twickenham and buying a 50% share of Wembley Stadium but has now ruled out the move.
The £663 million redevelopment plan includes improvements to the stadium’s infrastructure, with a focus on enhancing the fan experience.
A detailed plan outlines short, medium, and long-term transport interventions, including river boats and driverless pods, to alleviate congestion.
The revamp aims to increase the stadium's capacity for rugby events to a minimum of 80,000 and improve accessibility and inclusion.
Major works are not expected to start before 2027, with the stadium remaining operational throughout the redevelopment process.
