Among the complaints made include individuals urinating in communal areas and surrounding streets and littering and trespassing in both the Wembley Central and Tokyngton wards.
The dispersal order will be introduced at midnight on May 25 and will run until May 29 during which three games will take at the stadium in South Way.
Under the restrictions groups of individuals causing (ASB) can now be told to leave the area by police and police community support officers (PCSOs).

Chief Inspector Andy Jones, of Brent Police, said: “This order will enable Brent Borough Police to work with police colleagues that assist us in policing sporting events at Wembley to minimise the adverse disruption that is caused to visitors, residents and businesses by those that hang around pre or post match and cause anti social behaviour.”
Among the games to take place during the time period include the Champions League Final, the Championship Play Off Final and an International Match between England and Republic of Ireland.
