A-League Side Sydney FC To Play EPL Side Tottenham At ANZ Stadium

Tottenham looks to be on its way to Australia to face A-League side Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium on May 30, according to Sebastian Hassett of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. Contrary to earlier reports on Monday night, "the deal has not been finalised but is still expected to be concluded in the next few days" with an announcement scheduled for Friday. The NSW government and Destination NSW "will be tipping in a sizeable chunk of money to bring Tottenham to Australia" but it will not come close to the $3M spent -- and recouped -- on bringing ManU to Australia in '13. However, Tottenham is one of the most popular clubs in Australia and its appearance at Homebush "should see at least 60,000 fans flock from around the country to view Mauricio Pochettino's team in the flesh." It "will also be the first time in 30 years that Tottenham have come to Australia." Liverpool is also returning to Australia "after two years away, playing against Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United." It is thought that other clubs "are also trying to lure big-name overseas teams" (SMH, 3/2).
