Tottenham: About
Everything about Tottenham football club
Tottenham Hotspur is a team that fans either love or don't understand. But there are no indifferent ones. This is a club with a rich history, loyal fans and an eternal fight for the top.
Founded in 1882, Tottenham went from an amateur team to one of the most famous clubs in England. The team is based in North London, and the home arena is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – one of the most modern stadiums in the world.
During their history, "Spurs" won trophies, surprised opponents and played spectacular football, which even in failures left bright memories.
Tottenham: the history of the club
The football history of Tottenham began with a small group of schoolboys who just wanted to play. But ambitions quickly grew.
In 1901 the club did the impossible – became the first team to win the FA Cup while playing in the lower division.
The next big breakthrough came in the 1960s. In the 1960/61 season, Tottenham became the first club of the 20th century to achieve a golden double – winning both the Championship and the FA Cup in the same season.
In the 1980s, the team took the FA Cup twice and won the UEFA Cup (1984), which became one of the club's most important achievements on the international stage.
During the 2000s and 2010s, Tottenham consistently entered England's top 6, but the main achievement was reaching the final of the Champions League in 2019. That match against Liverpool will remain in the memory of the fans forever, because it was the first Champions League final in the history of the club.
