Tottenham has Wembley listed as its venue on official registration documents. However, in certain circumstances UEFA can approve a change of stadium.

Champions League regulations state that a club must play all of its matches in the competition at one and the same venue.

Tottenham were due to play their home matches in their new stadium from September 15 but delays mean they will not play there until April at the earliest.
