Footballers during the Olympic GamesThe club has confirmed that it is considering plans for major development work at Villa Park over the next few years. Whilst these plans are being developed, the club is unable to commit fully to hosting matches as part of the London 2012 Olympic football competition.
The London 2012 Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has been working with its selected football venues over the past eight months progressing and confirming plans across the tournament, and needed firm commitments from all the host stadia.
Other options for hosting the Football events in the Midlands are now being investigated.
