Fulham's renovated Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage will be reopened this summer.

The club will open the lower tier of the new stand, with a full opening due in 2023.

Work began on the development, which will increase the attendance from 25,700 to 29,600, in 2019.

But work has been delayed during the coronavirus pandemic and Fulham Pier is also due to open next year.

The plans, which were first announced in 2011, were submitted in 2012 and given planning permission in 2013.

Fulham are 14 points clear at the top of the Championship, with 76 points from 35 games, and are on course for promotion back to the Premier League.

"During the 2022/23 campaign season tickets will become available in the lower tier on a single season basis, providing the first opportunity for supporters to experience the new stand," the club said in a statement on their website.

"The new Riverside Stand will provide some of the very best seats Craven Cottage has ever had to offer, allowing unprecedented views of the matchday action."

"Current Season Ticket Holders who previously had a seat in the former Riverside Stand prior to the project beginning in 2019 will be prioritised to purchase seats in the new stand."

Fulham FC statement
The Club is pleased to announce supporters will be welcomed back onto the riverside next season, with the opening of the lower tier of the new Riverside Stand from this summer.

The complex nature of the project, coupled with implications arising from the Coronavirus pandemic, means that the development of Fulham Pier will continue throughout next season - including the completion of interior fit-outs of spaces throughout the venue.

Whilst we are preparing for full occupancy, ahead of the full opening of the Riverside Stand and Fulham Pier in the summer of 2023, the opening of the lower tier represents the first phase of supporters being located in the new stand – a milestone moment in the development of the project.

During the 2022/23 campaign Season Tickets will become available in the lower tier on a single season basis, providing the first opportunity for supporters to experience the new stand.

The new Riverside Stand will provide some of the very best seats Craven Cottage has ever had to offer, allowing unprecedented views of the matchday action.

Fans will have the chance to immerse themselves in the thick of the action, with the lower tier offering exceptional perspectives of the pitch, alongside and directly behind the dugouts, allowing you to see the match unfold through the eyes of the Head Coach.

Current Season Ticket Holders who previously had a seat in the former Riverside Stand prior to the project beginning in 2019 will be prioritised to purchase seats in the new stand. More information on this will follow in the coming days.

Everyone at the Club is thrilled to welcome fans to the Riverside as we embark on an exciting new chapter in the history of Fulham Football Club.
