Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in European football

English club in European football From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club became the first English and British club to win a major European, UEFA-regulated competition, with their win against Atlético Madrid in the final of the 1962–63 European Cup Winners' Cup.[a] In 1972, they won the inaugural UEFA Cup – beating fellow English club Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final – and won the competition again in 1984 and 2025, the latter after it was renamed into the UEFA Europa League. Additionally, they were runners-up in the same competition in 1974, losing to Dutch side Feyenoord Rotterdam in the final. Furthermore, the team regularly qualified for European football in the 2010s, culminating with a runner-up finish in the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League, where they lost the final to fellow English club Liverpool.

Defender Steve Perryman is the club's most decorated player, winning two UEFA Cup titles.[3] Striker Harry Kane holds the record for most goals with 45, and most appearances with 76. In September 2021, Kane became the first player to score a hat-trick in each of the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League.

Up until 2016, White Hart Lane served as the club's home venue for European home matches, which was temporarily replaced with Wembley Stadium the following season. Their first home match of the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage saw the club's highest-ever record attendance of 85,011 for a European home match against Monaco.[4] As of 2019, home games are played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.[5] Tottenham have a tradition of wearing white shorts as part of their kit during European fixtures, as opposed to the navy blue shorts they wear during domestic fixtures, an idea conceived to help increase visibility under poor quality floodlights.[6]

1 Includes two 1995 Intertoto Cup matches against Lucerne and Östers where Tottenham played as hosts away from their home stadium, at The Goldstone Ground. They lost both matches and Tottenham was banned from UEFA European competitions for the following season, after fielding under-strength sides.[7][8]

2 Tottenham’s final group stage match at home in the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League against Rennes did not take place due to numerous positive COVID-19 tests in the Tottenham Hotspur squad. The UEFA Appeals Body declined Tottenham’s request to rearrange the game before the 31 December deadline, which meant they had forfeited the game, awarding a 3–0 win for Rennes.[9][10]

Notes

  1. [a]
    While Northern Ireland club Glentoran are considered to be the first British club to win a European/continental trophy overall by winning the Vienna Cup in 1914, the feat was achieved 40 years before the UEFA was established in 1954.[1][2]
