Porro to receive World Cup honour before Hoffenheim friendly

Tottenham will recognise Pedro Porro's World Cup triumph when they host Hoffenheim in a pre-season fixture at N17 on Saturday.

Porro became the third Spur to lift the trophy — following Hugo Lloris in 2018 and Cristian Romero in 2022 — after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final in New York in July. The right-back started every game of the tournament and scored in the semi-final win over France.

Former Spurs striker and Spain international Fernando Llorente will make a special presentation to Porro on behalf of the club ahead of kick-off.

Xavi Simons, currently recovering from a serious knee injury, will appear pitchside at half-time alongside club legend Gary Mabbutt. Both will be interviewed by presenter Paul Coyte. Mabbutt is expected to thank supporters for their messages following his recent accident in South Africa.

Ahead of the match, at approximately 2.45pm, Tottenham-based artist Nippa will perform on the pitch. The lifelong Spurs fan will play Homegrown, a track recorded in connection with the club's current era.

Pan Nation Steel Orchestra, a Tottenham-based group active for nearly 20 years, will perform in the Fan Zone on Park Lane Square before the game. Former goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman will hold a meet-and-greet from 12pm to 1.30pm at the Tottenham Experience to mark the reopening of his photography exhibition, A Loan, at OOF gallery.
