LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur will play their European fixtures at Wembley Stadium next season, the club and the Football Association announced Saturday.
The 2016/17 season will be the last Spurs spend at their White Hart Lane home in London, with work on a new purpose built #400 million ($585 million, 526 million euros) home close to their existing ground having already started.
That means Tottenham will need a venue with increase capacity for their European fixtures having qualified for the Champions League with Wembley, not far from their current north London base, an ideal option.
The FA have also given Tottenham the option to play at Wembley, England’s national stadium, for the entire 2017/18 season.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy seems set to take up that offer given the club’s new 61,000-capacity stadium is scheduled to be ready for the start of the 2018/19 season.
“We are delighted that..we have been able to reach this agreement,” said Levy.
