Tottenham Hotspur Stadium wins World Football Summit’s Best Venue Award

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been named Best Venue by Mondo Stadia for the 2023 World Football Summit (WFS).

The announcement was made ahead of the WFS Europe event, where a gala will be held on Wednesday 20 September in Seville to honour all winners across 11 categories, including Best Executive, Best Branding Initiative and Best Digital Transformation.

This award recognises excellence in stadium and sports venue management, with key evaluation criteria such as fan experience, access and match day operations.

Daniel Levy, Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur, said: "We are truly honoured to receive this prestigious award, which serves as a testament to our commitment to providing unparalleled fan experiences at our stadium. This recognition motivates us to continue setting the gold standard in stadium management across the global sports industry."

Jan Alessie, Co-founder & Director at World Football Summit, said: "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a pioneering venue with a diverse range of uses, hosting Premier League football, NFL games, concerts and conferences, among other experiences, setting a ‘best in class’ example in the global sports industry."

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in April, 2019 – with a capacity of 62,850, it is the largest club football stadium in London.

It’s iconic, single-tier South Stand alone holds 17,500 spectators and is the largest of its kind in the UK, providing a wall of noise that contributes to the stadium’s unique atmosphere.

The stadium is renowned for its multi-use capabilities, with the world’s first dividing, retractable grass surface providing the ability to host a range of major events all year round.

As the home of Tottenham Hotspur, the stadium has established itself as a leading sport, leisure and entertainment destination in London. It became the only venue to host five nights during Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour 2023 – grossing $42.2m, the highest-grossing engagement ever by a woman, a Black artist or any American artist - ­as well as hosting Red Hot Chili Peppers and Wizkid shows in 2023. The stadium is also included as one of 10 host venues for the UK & Ireland’s joint bid to host UEFA EURO 2028.

Since opening, the stadium has now received 28 industry awards across sectors including architecture, fan experience, accessibility and hospitality.
