DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur successfully qualified for the last eight of the 2018-19 Champions League. Later, Tottenham will no longer use Wembley, but White Hart Lane has been renovated. Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that.
During this time, waiting for the completion of the new stadium, Spurs played their home games at Wembley. The end of the 2016-17 season, Tottenham headquarters, White Hart Lane, leveled up to build a new stadium.
Tottenham won a ticket to the quarter-finals after winning 1-0 away to Borussia Dortmund headquarters on Wednesday (6/3) early morning Western Indonesian Time. Spurs escaped with an aggregate of 4-0.
At first, Spurs scheduled a new stadium to be used at the start of this season last August. However, there was a delay in the completion of construction.
“I spoke yesterday with Daniel Levy (club chairman) and the direction was positive,” Pochettino said.
“We heard Champions League songs, of course, it would be nice to hear it at the new stadium later before the match. Now we qualify for the quarter-finals, and I hope we can finish it and hear the song there,” he was quoted as saying by Reuters.
SkySports reported that the UEFA party will meet Tottenham to discuss the possibility of changing this enclosure. Spurs will not be able to just move their headquarters.
In the competition registration, Tottenham included Wembley Stadium as the stadium that became their home. While Champions League regulation states that a club must play all matches in the same stadium throughout the season.
However, in a certain situation, UEFA can approve changes in the venue of the competition.
