Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that they will play Sydney FC in a friendly later this year.
The Premier League club will travel to Australia in May for an exclusive one-off meeting with the A-League's Sky Blues at ANZ Stadium.
The friendly will take place on May 30, during the Premier League off-season, and according to manager Mauricio Pochettino will provide a great chance for the north Londoners to visit Australian shores and give something back to the supporters down under.
"We are looking forward to visiting Sydney and giving our fans in that part of the world an opportunity to see the team up close," said Pochettino.
"We all appreciate the fantastic support we receive across the world and the commitment that people in different time zones make to watch games live on TV, so to bring the team to them is a great way to say thank you.
"Our match against Sydney FC is sure to be hard-fought and entertaining, with the A-League becoming stronger every year and attracting some big name players, so we would like to thank the New South Wales Government and Destination New South Wales for the chance to visit your beautiful city."
We are delighted to officially confirm that SPURS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO SYDNEY!! http://t.co/c351Lws1s0#SpursInSydneypic.twitter.com/uMo8OzinVN
