Could the Champions League final be heading to Tottenham?

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has hinted to the London Evening Standard that he wants the club’s new stadium to host the Champions League final soon.

Spurs opened their new stadium earlier this month, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 before also picking up wins over Manchester City and Huddersfield Town.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men have yet to concede a goal in their new home, and whilst some teams struggle when they move stadiums, Spurs have started perfectly.

After a long, long wait to move in, Tottenham are making the most of their new surroundings – and Levy seemingly has big plans in mind.

Spurs chairman Levy has told the London Evening Standard that he has been delighted with the reaction to the new stadium, admitting that he wants to host ‘world-class events’.

Levy added that Spurs have ‘top Uefa stadium status’, and those two comments together hint that he’s looking to host the Champions League final at Tottenham’s new home, even noting he’d be open to having conversations with major authorities about hosting such huge events.

“We have been delighted with the reaction from our fans and all visitors since we officially opened our new home two weeks ago,” said Levy. “Our aim was always to create an iconic multi-use venue capable of hosting world-class events.”

“We have the top Uefa stadium status, which means the venue is fit to stage any European football event, and we believe the stadium’s extensive capabilities, particularly the flexibility of having two surfaces, mean we can host a vast range of world-class sporting and entertainment events. We’d be open to having conversations if the relevant organisations were interested in using our stadium,” he added.

The Champions League final was held in London in 2011 and 2013, meaning a return wouldn’t be a huge surprise, but Spurs would be battling Wembley Stadium for that honour.

This year’s is at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid, whilst next year’s is in Istanbul, meaning Levy may well aim for the final to be at Tottenham’s home in 2021.
