Tottenham Hotspur was set to face Azerbaijani club Qarabağ at home in the first round of the UEFA Europa League today, but a significant issue arose before the match.
Details: The match was scheduled to kick off at 21:00 Central European Time, but the start had to be postponed by the organizers.
The reason? Severe traffic jams that brought London to a standstill this evening. Due to ongoing roadwork, the A50 highway was completely closed, causing major disruptions to the flow of traffic.
As a result, Qarabağ’s team bus arrived at Tottenham's stadium with a considerable delay.
Reminder: Earlier, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy voiced his support for reducing the number of matches played in the football calendar.
