Spurs secured their first piece of silverware since 2008 with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao, courtesy of a first-half goal from Brennan Johnson.

To mark the occasion, an open-top bus parade will take place on Friday evening, giving fans a chance to celebrate with the players and coaching staff.

Here’s everything you need to know about the parade:

The parade is set to begin at around 5.30pm on Friday, May 23, starting at The Broadway in Fore Street, Edmonton Green.

From there, it will travel south along the High Road, passing Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before looping around via Lansdowne Road, Willoughby Lane, and Northumberland Park.

The event is expected to last between 60 and 90 minutes, finishing in the stadium’s service yard next to Sainsbury’s.

A stage will be set up outside the ground on Paxton Terrace, where the team will present the trophy to fans.

Significant road closures will be in place from 11am on Friday to accommodate the event.

General traffic will not be able to access Fore Street south of Edmonton Green bus station or the High Road north of Bruce Grove train station.

Roads along the parade route will reopen once it is safe to do so after the event concludes.

Advanced warning signs have been deployed throughout the area.

Transport services are also expected to be affected.

Local rail stations, including Edmonton Green, Silver Street, White Hart Lane, Northumberland Park, Bruce Grove, Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters, may face temporary closures depending on crowd sizes.

Several bus routes will be diverted for the duration of the parade.

Residents and commuters are advised to plan ahead, as large crowds and disruptions are expected throughout the day.

A spokesman for Tottenham Hotspur said: "The club is delighted to announce plans for an open-top bus victory parade on Friday, May 23, following last night’s UEFA Europa League Final success in Bilbao.

"The time and date have been agreed following close consultation between the club, its football operations, Haringey and Enfield councils, emergency services and transport partners, to ensure the delivery of a safe and enjoyable event for all."
