Tottenham Hotspurs - agree deal to play next season's Champions League games at Wembley Stadium

London: Tottenham  Hotspurs reached an agreement with the Football Association to play their home next season Champions League fixtures at Wembley Stadium, the club have confirmed.

The decision has been taken to meet UEFA requirements, which the club say will be impacted by the ongoing work at White Hart Lane.

Spurs are currently in the process of building a new stadium, which is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 2018/19 season.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "We’re delighted that, through working in partnership with WNSL & the FA, we’ve been able to reach this agreement.

“Playing at Wembley will mean that we can continue to accommodate all of our existing season ticket holders.

“Our season ticket waiting list is over 50,000 so this now also offers us a great opportunity to provide.
More of our supporters with a chance to see the team play live during our Champions League campaign.
"Importantly, as we know it was our fans' preference, it means that we can play our home matches in London during our season away."

The agreement will not affect Tottenham Hotspurs' Premier League matches next season, but it has been confirmed the club will have the option to play all of their domestic home matches during the 2017/18 campaign at Wembley Stadium.
