WEST HAM have announced they will face Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna for their traditional season curtain-raiser at Upton Park.

The La Liga side will take on the Hammers at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday, August 7 at 3pm, which will be new manager Avram Grant's first home game in charge.

Deportivo finished tenth last season but won the Spanish league title back in 2000.

West Ham took on Napoli in the same event last season, with the Italian side winning thanks to a 78th minute header from Fabio Quagliarella.
