LONDON, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have further delayed the move to their new stadium and will stay at Wembley until the end of this year.
The north London club chairman Daniel Levy said in a statement on Friday that the decision was made because "we have been working hard with the contractors involved in the critical safety systems."
Their new 62,000-seat arena was supposed to open on Sept. 15 but safety concerns led to a delay.
Levy said: "There isn't an hour that goes by when I am not asked when we will be able to stage our first game at our new home.
"I wish I was able to confirm an exact opening date and fixture. However, in light of factors completely outside of our control, contractors missing deadlines and possible future unforeseen issues, we are naturally being cautious in respect of our timetable for our test events and official opening game."
He added, "We have taken the decision to confirm today that all home games will be played at Wembley Stadium up to and including the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Dec. 29.
"We know the continued delay is a source of immense disappointment to everyone and I can only continue to apologise for this - it is a sentiment felt by all of us.
"We have not stood still whilst work on the critical safety systems has been happening and we have sought to use the time to bring forward future works."
