Duke Tottenham stays at Wembley until further notice


LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur said on Friday they would play all their remaining home games in 2018 at Wembley before returning to play at their new 62,000-seat stadium near the Old White Heart Lane in north London in 2019.
Tottenham had hoped to play at their new home in September, but technical problems with safety systems have delayed it.

"Taking into account all the technical and logistical data, we had to make the decision to play all our home matches at Wembley, including the Wolverhampton match on December 29," club president Daniel Levy said.

Tottenham fans will continue to move to Wembley to play against Chelsea, Southampton, Burnley, Bournemouth and Wolverhampton, as well as their Champions League group matches against PSV Eindhoven and Inter Milan.

"It's only an hour that asks me when we will be able to organize our first game at our new stadium," he said. "However, given the factors beyond our control, The final and potential future, and unexpected things, we of course be careful with respect to our schedule to conduct the testing of events and an official opening match. "

"While we recognize the need to continue to pressure our contractors for delivery as soon as possible, we are also aware of how difficult it is for you, our supporters, to plan matches, especially those scheduled for Christmas and New Year," Levy was quoted as saying. .
