West Ham United, the top-flight English soccer team, was chosen as the tenant of London’s Olympic Stadium starting in 2016, ending three years of legal disputes over the prime asset of last year’s games.
The decision “fully protects the interests of the taxpayer and means that no longer will there be any more subsidy going into the running of that stadium but it will actually yield revenues as well for London,” Mayor Boris Johnson said today at a press conference.
