spurs Set To Host Epcr Finals
European Professional Club Rugby has announced that the 2024 edition of the EPCR Finals Weekend will take place at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The finals weekend consists of the Heineken Champions Cup and the EPCR Challenge Cup Finals, which features leading teams in European club rugby.
The London 2024 EPCR Challenge Cup Final is scheduled for Friday 24th May, with the Heineken Champions Cup decider on Saturday 25th May.
With a capacity of 62,850, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the largest club football ground in the English capital and already has experience of hosting rugby matches.
Since opening in 2019, the stadium has hosted two Saracens Gallagher Premiership ties, as well as a Barbarian FC v All Blacks XV match. Outside of football and rugby, it has also become a venue for the annual NFL London Games.
Dominic McKay, EPCR Chairman, said, “We are absolutely delighted to announce that our 2024 Finals Weekend will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It is quite simply one of the most exciting venues in the world and an incredibly appropriate stage for next year’s showpiece Finals Weekend. We know clubs, fans, broadcasters, partners and all involved will thoroughly enjoy the world-class experience.”
“The EPCR Finals Weekend is a huge event in the rugby calendar. Over 110,000 people attended the matches in Marseille last season and following strong advance ticket sales, we are looking forward to another big attendance next month at the Dublin finals at the Aviva Stadium.
“EPCR has a proud history of taking its Finals Weekend to new cities and arenas – with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the latest in a list of cutting-edge venues. It is a sensational stadium with a burgeoning history of hosting rugby matches.”
Todd Kline, Chief Commercial Officer, Tottenham Hotspur, added, “We are incredibly excited to be bringing more and more world-class sporting events to N17, enhancing the club’s ability to continue to invest in our football activities. With thousands set to descend on our neighbourhood from all over Europe and beyond for the EPCR Finals weekend in 2024, this also represents another huge moment for the area of Tottenham, delivering a further boost to our local economy.”
