West Ham United will be playing in the Europa League next season after topping the Premier League's Fair Play table.

The Hammers will start in the first qualifying round of the competition in July with the team needed to come through four rounds to earn a place on the group stage.

Joint chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold told the club website: "We are delighted to have won a place in the UEFA Europa League as we want to ensure the Boleyn Ground the best send-off possible, and progress in this competition will certainly help with that.

“Starting in early July will bring its challenges, but everyone at the club, from the board to the players and supporters will be relishing the opportunity to feature on the European stage. It should be a fantastic experience.”
