The Europa League has grown in significance in recent times. UEFA has done a great job of raising the profile of Europe's second most prestigious competition and making it a more thrilling event for football fans. As well as offering clubs the opportunity to win major silverware, it also now provides an automatic route into next season’s Champions League campaign. Getting your hands on Premier League match tickets can prove to be a tough ask these days, so the Europa League also offers fans a further chance to see their beloved side in action.
Obviously, a hoard of loyal Lilywhites expects Tottenham to go the distance this season and lift the Europa League trophy at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, on Wednesday, May 21. Ange Postecoglou's posse currently reside in the bottom half of the Premier League table and are out of both domestic cup competitions, so they are now laser-focused on the European campaign. If those Europa League dreams are dashed along the way, there could be a lengthy wait for another Spurs' European quest. That’s another reason why you’ll want to secure yourself a seat for this Alkmaar clash. Football nights under the lights are always unique and absorbing, so don’t miss out on one of the season's highlights to date.
It's been another positive season to date for Spurs’ Dutch opponents, AZ Alkmaar, who have recorded top-4 finishes in the Eredivisie in each of the past seven seasons and are once again in the mix for European qualifying spots. They’ve also reached the KNVB Cup final, which they last won in 2013. Irish international Troy Parrott has been AZ’s scoring inspiration. Parrott, who arrived at the AFAS Stadion from Spurs last summer in a £6.7 million deal, is well on his way to notching 20+ goals this season. He’s guaranteed a warm reception from home fans and the fervent travelling contingent in North London.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the UEFA Europa League drama. The competition for Europa League tickets is fierce, and with demand soaring as the knockouts continue, it’s a smart play to secure your seat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ASAP. Let GOAL help guide you through how you can buy tickets for the Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar Europa League encounter, including where you can buy them, how much they cost and much more.
