Premier League heavyweights Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will meet for the first time outside Britain next year during a pre-season tour in Sydney, officials said on Monday.
The London rivals have signed up for the “Sydney Super Cup”, with Chelsea also meeting A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers, while Spurs play Sydney FC.
They will then face each other on August 1 in the 83,000-capacity Olympic Stadium.
“I’ve heard all about our passionate fan base in Australia and it’s something the club is very proud of,” said Spurs manager Thomas Frank. “I can’t wait to experience that for myself.”
Chelsea will also travel with its women’s team, led by Australian superstars Sam Kerr and Elie Carpenter, for a match against an A-League All-Stars women’s team on August 12.
“The 2026 Sydney Super Cup will be a fantastic showcase of world-class football,” said A-League chief Stephen Conroy. “It is a great opportunity for the international talent in our competitions to test themselves against the giants of world football.”
