Tottenham to celebrate Europa League win with Friday parade through north London
Plans have now been unveiled for a victory parade, which is set to begin around 5.30pm on Friday at Fore Street in the Edmonton Green region, travel down High Road past Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before it concludes in the stadium's service yard on Northumberland Park.
The open-top bus parade will last approximately 'between 60-90 minutes', with a staging area to be erected outside the stadium on Paxton Terrace to host the players and coaching staff for a presentation of the trophy to fans.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, the first head coach to lead the club to European success in 41 years, teased a 'massive parade' during his press conference in the bowels of San Mames on Wednesday night.
'What I do know is, I'll go back to my hotel room, get my family and friends together, open up a nice bottle of scotch, have a couple of quiet ones, get ready for a massive parade on Friday,' Postecoglou insisted.
Tottenham declined the opportunity to hold an open-top bus parade after Carling Cup glory in 2008 and instead presented the trophy to supporters before a UEFA Cup fixture with PSV Eindhoven.
The 1991 FA Cup final victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley was marked with a parade around the club's old White Hart Lane stadium.
Johnson's scrappy first-half finish proved the difference at San Memes and helped Tottenham end a 17-year wait for silverware.
Parade announcement 🏆
The Club is delighted to announce plans for an open-top bus victory parade on Friday 23 May, starting in Edmonton Green at 5.30pm.

'It means everything, honestly. Ever since I joined the club, I just thought this club is way too good to have not won a trophy in so long,' Johnson said.
'To be part of the team to have won a major competition, it feels unbelievable.
'We always had that underlying confidence. I mean it's a final, you never know what is going to happen, we're against Man United and their history speaks for itself, but to a man I believed in our team that we'd get the job done.
'I am so proud of every single player, every single staff (member) and it's for the fans. It's for us and we just need to enjoy it now.'

Luke Shaw makes bold claim for Manchester United's upcoming season: ‘The aim is to win the Premier League'
Luke Shaw has given Manchester United a bold target for this season, saying that the squad's aim is to win the Premier League. Ruben Amorim 's side finished 15th last year and Shaw, speaking on the squad's pre-season tour, admitted that the memory of that campaign made his lofty target sound rather unattainable. But having earlier said that there were 'no stragglers' in the new-look United side after an Amorim-led clearout of players, Shaw cut a confident figure. 'The aim has to be to win the Premier League,' he said. 'I know people will be questioning me after last season, but it has to be that. 'It's not just me that thinks that, I'm sure the whole team if you ask them, they all have the same aims. 'Even the manager - I'm sure he probably wouldn't say in the press - but we all need to have the same beliefs and ambitions, and that family sort of feeling together and you all strive for the same thing.' Shaw previously said that everyone in the squad is 'driving in the same direction'. Marcus Rashford has made a high-profile move to Barcelona after a rift with the Red Devils' manager, while other exiles including Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho are also likely to depart Old Trafford.

Arsenal beaten by Tottenham as Viktor Gyokeres makes debut
Gyokeres was named on the bench by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta days after being able to seal a big-money transfer to the Premier League club. Arteta turned to Gyokeres with 14 minutes left of the friendly and with Arsenal behind after Pape Sarr's long-range effort on the stroke of half-time, but Swedish forward Gyokeres was a largely isolated figure and failed to stop a 1-0 loss. After a flurry of early Arsenal set-pieces in the first north London derby to be played outside of England, Spurs' Pedro Porro hit the post in the ninth minute direct from a corner. Outrageous from Pape Sarr 😮💨 Don't miss the action – watch the second half live on SPURSPLAY 📺 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 31, 2025 Wilson Odobert and Richarlison also struck the woodwork for Tottenham during a first half which seemed destined to end goalless until Sarr's sublime intervention. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya raced out to pass to Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was dispossessed and Sarr was alert to chip into the empty net from close to the halfway line in the 45th minute. Chances were few and far between in the second half before Arteta turned to his bench after Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and summer recruit Martin Zubimendi had been wasteful in front of goal. Gyokeres was introduced for Havertz in the 76th minute and while he fashioned a late missed chance for Zubimendi, the former Sporting Lisbon attacker's first appearance for Arsenal ended in defeat.
