Here’s all the info you need about the Tottenham trophy parade as Spurs prepare to celebrate their UEFA Europa League triumph.

Wednesday night saw Tottenham end their long trophy drought, beating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to lift the UEFA Europa League.

It was a special night for Spurs fans, and for manager Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian was under mounting pressure due to Tottenham’s woeful league form, which has seen them sink to 17th in the Premier League table.

There had been growing speculation around who the next Tottenham manager might be, should big Ange be relieved of his duties.

But on a night of little quality, Brennan Johnson got the decisive touch in the 42nd minute to bundle the ball in at the back post.

Spurs held on after the break, with United coming close on several occasions. Micky van de Ven made a crucial acrobatic clearance off the line to deny Rasmus Hojlund in the second half.

But Tottenham held firm to secure a 1-0 victory and send their fans into rapture.

With the celebrations still underway for many, Spurs have confirmed their plans for the official club festivities.

Below is everything you need to know about the Tottenham trophy parade.

When Is The Tottenham Trophy Parade?

On their website, Tottenham confirmed that the trophy parade would take place on Friday, 23 May following the team’s Europa League victory in Bilbao.

The parade had initially been planned to start from 3:00pm, but the club moved the start back after pressure from ers groups.

After consulting with local authorities and emergency services, the route has been confirmed, with the open-top bus set to depart Edmonton Green at around 5:30pm.

From there, the parade will follow the below route:

  • The Broadway/Fore Street (Southbound)
  • High Road (Southbound) past the stadium
  • Lansdowne Road (Eastbound)
  • Willoughby Lane (Northbound)
  • Northumberland Park (Westbound)

Tottenham Trophy Parade Information

According to the club, Tottenham’s trophy parade should last 60-90 minutes.

It will finish at the stadium’s service yard, next to the Sainsbury’s on Northumberland Park.

After the conclusion of the bus parade, a the players and coaching staff will take to a staging area outside the stadium, with the trophy presented to fans.

To keep ers entertained, Tottenham will have a DJ, live music and a Q&A session from club legends, starting at 3:00pm.

The club have said they expect the route to be extremely busy, encouraging fans to plan accordingly.

For those unable to get to the parade route, Spurs are also providing a livestream of the event on their website and YouTube channel.

When Did Tottenham Last Win A Trophy?

The victory secured Spurs their first title in 17 long years. Fans embraced and tears were shed at the Estadio de san Mamés as Tottenham’s ‘banter’ era finally ended.

Spurs ers, and players, have endured a painful recent history, with repeated near-misses and a looming failure to win silverware.

This fact was not lost on goalscorer Brennan Johnson. After the match, he told TNT Sport: “All the fans get battered, we get battered for not winning a trophy.

“We had to get the first one, I’m so happy. Ever since I came here it has been: ‘Tottenham, good team but can’t get it done’, but we got it done.”

But that talk is now over, thanks to Tottenham’s first trophy since the 2008 Carling Cup (EFL Cup) victory against Chelsea.

Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-1 in the Carling (EFL) Cup final in 2008.

It’s also a first continental trophy in even longer. Tottenham have not lifted European silverware since 1983-84.

That year, they also won what has now become the Europa League, meaning this year’s triumph is their third win in the competition, having lifted the inaugural trophy in 1972.

They will have the chance for another continental crown, too. Spurs are set to face the Champions League winners in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, 13th of August.

Europa League Prize Money Means Tottenham Will Pocket A Huge Sum

It’s not just silverware that Tottneham will be taking home to North London.

As Europa League winners, they are also going to pocket a big sum of prize money.

Both finalists were already guaranteed £5.9 million ahead of Wednesday’s game, with Spurs taking a further £5.06 million for lifting the trophy.

All 36 teams in the competition had already been awarded £3.63 million for participation. And each win or draw earned £380,000 and £126,500 respectively, meaning Tottenham earned a seven figure sum for just the league phase.

However, their prize money earnings are around half of what the Champions League winners will get.

Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain go head-to-head for Europe’s top prize, with the victors receiving around £21 million.

It’s qualification to the Champions League next season that will be the real money-spinner for Spurs, though.

By winning the Europa League and earning entry into the top competition for next year, Tottenham will pocket an estimated £100 million on top of their Europa League payout.
