Looks like the Charity Shield will be the first event at the Wembley National Stadium.

FA blows whistle on Multiplex for final
February 21, 2006 - 10:23AM
An Australian property developer has stuffed up the English football final.
The English Football Association will transfer the FA Cup Final from Wembley Stadium to its reserve venue of Millennium Dome in Cardiff, the Multiplex Group announced today.
Multiplex said it was disappointed with the decision and it continues to work towards completing its reconstruction of Wembley National Stadium at the earliest possible date.
"We understand that the FA has made this decision on the basis that it requires 100 per cent certainty that the venue will be fully functional by May 13, 2006, the scheduled date for the 2006 FA Cup Final," Multiplex said in a statement.
Last month a senior Multiplex manager gave the group a 70 per cent chance of completing the stadium - the spiritual home of English football - in time for the FA Cup final.
Multiplex, which announces its half-year results later this week, has previously provided a wide range of scenarios regarding the losses from its Wembley project - including one that sees the group's 2005/06 full year profit being wiped out.
