London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Oct, 2018 ) :Fulham owner Shahid Khan has withdrawn his offer to buy London's Wembley Stadium, England's governing Football Association announced Wednesday.

The FA, Wembley's current owners, had come under fire from many within English football for their plans to sell Wembley despite Khan offering to buy the stadium for 600 million ($8000 million).

And while senior FA figures were happy for the sale to go through that lack of support from the wider game appeared crucial to the decision of Khan, who had planned to base the Jacksonville Jaguars, his NFL franchise at Wembley, to pull out.
