Through its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd (WNSL), the Football Association (FA) currently owns the stadium.
And the FA headquarters are actually in the stadium itself.

The FA’s own history since it took charge of the Wembley project in 1999 has been turbulent, working through a series of chairmen and chief executives and repeatedly coming off worse in battles for governance authority with the Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Scudamore. Gradually, however, the FA has focused more on the abject conditions in which the public has to play football and begun to explore the potential for improving things. If Khan, who has nursed a long-term project to bring the NFL and his Jaguars franchise more regularly to Wembley, were to buy it, the £500m-plus would be released for good works. Khan will buy out the stadium itself, take the food and beverage revenue from the rest of it, and take on the burden of its upkeep.
