Iconic British sports team to build stunning new 28,000-seat stadium after purchasing land

HISTORIC rugby club Wasps have confirmed plans to build a new 28,000 seat stadium in Kent.

The six-time Premiership winners have acquired land at a site in Swanley in Sevenoaks – two years after coming into administration.

They were relegated from the top flight in 2022 and were excluded from the Championship last season.

But they have signed up to compete in the Tier 2 division, which replaces the championship from the 2025/2026 season.

And now Wasps have revealed they have an option on the 10-year-old site which they hope will play host to their new ground.

They announced the news with a photo of a beautiful, ultra-modern stadium.

Wasps have previously held home games at a number of different football stadiums, including QPR, Wycombe and Coventry.

Wasps owner Christopher Holland told Sky Sports: “It is very rewarding that we have achieved this milestone with the support of key stakeholders.

“It brings us closer to our quest for a new home in the region and hopefully demonstrates our determination to save wasps sustainably.”

Wasps confirmed during the development process that they will “explore temporary facilities”.

The rugby team has already agreed a deal to train and play matches at Worcester Warriors’ Sixways ground.

It has also been reported that they could share The Valley with League One side Charlton.

That would mean that three teams playing at the same venue as Charlton’s women’s team have also been holding home games there since the start of the season.
