English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur will play in Auckland FC in a mid-year friendly.
The London giants will take on the A-League side at Eden Park on 26 July.
It is the first time a top-level English club has played in New Zealand since 2014 when Newcastle United and West Ham United both toured.
Spurs played two games in New Zealand in 1976 beating an Auckland side 5-3 and a Wellington team 3-2.
Former All Whites skipper Ryan Nelsen made five appearances for Spurs in 2012.
Tottenham are currently 17th in the Premiership, one point above the relegation zone.
On Sunday, Igor Tudor left his role as Tottenham interim head coach after just 44 days and seven matches.
