Wembley Stadium Appoints Mark Lynch As Stadium Director
Lynch brings a wealth of experience to Wembley having joined from the Rugby Football Union where he was Executive Director of Venue, with responsibility for Twickenham Stadium including operations, revenue, events and long‑term development of the venue.
Prior to that he was Operations Director at Yas Marina Circuit, the home of the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He has also worked on two FIFA World Cup tournaments, and for a leading marketing and experience agency.
He said: “I am delighted to take up the position of Stadium Director at England’s national stadium.
“Wembley Stadium is an iconic venue recognised around the world. It has a history of hosting the biggest and best sports, music and entertainment events and I look forward to continuing that work in the next stage of the venue’s development.”
Lynch joins Wembley at an exciting time with the stadium having one of its busiest years in recent history. It has hosted 32 events already in 2024 including a UEFA Champions League Final for a record eighth time and a record‑breaking run of eight nights from global pop sensation Taylor Swift, which attracted audiences in excess of 700,000.
The stadium has also undergone significant change in the last 12 months following the completion of an investment programme which saw major upgrades to security, hospitality and entertainment areas across the venue.
In his new role Lynch will be responsible for overseeing the overall delivery of events at Wembley, in addition to managing day‑to‑day operations, sales and revenue for the stadium.
