England's Football Association (FA) is set to sell Wembley Stadium, the home of the national soccer team, to US billionaire Shahid Khan in a deal worth up to £600 million (NZ$1.18 billion) The Sun newspaper is reporting.              

Khan owns the Jacksonville Jaguars American football team.      

Under the plan, the FA would keep Wembley as the main venue for major matches, including England internationals and the FA Cup Final.             

But, the national soccer team could play elsewhere in October and November due to clashes with the NFL season, according to The Sun.    

"We can confirm that The FA has received an offer to buy Wembley Stadium," a spokesman for the FA said.
