The 2006 FA Cup final will not be played at the new Wembley stadium, according to Australian construction giant Multiplex.

 

Fears have grown for some time that the 90,000-seater would not be ready in time for the end-of-season showpiece, and the FA are expected to confirm the situation in the next 24 hours.

 

In a statement issued by Multiplex, the FA are understood to have already made the decision to switch the fixture to the Millennium Stadium, which has hosted the previous five finals.

 

Multiplex confirmed: "We understand that the FA has made this decision on the basis that it requires 100 percent certainty that the venue will be fully functional by 13 May 2006, the scheduled date for the 2006 FA Cup Final."

 

Work started on the new Wembley complex back in 2002, but it has since undergone a series of setbacks that have eventually resulted in the postponement of its opening.

 

A group of 10 teams are currently fighting for a place in the final of football's oldest cup competition, as Charlton host Middlesbrough, Newcastle travel to Chelsea and Liverpool face Birmingham.

 

A combination of Manchester City or Aston Villa, and Bolton or West Ham, will contest the other quarter-final.
