Great Britain's Davis Cup World Group semi-final against Argentina will be staged at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow next month.

The venue in the city's East End has a capacity of 8,000 and was the setting for two victorious ties for GB on their way to winning last year's final by beating Belgium in Ghent.

The tie will be held from September 16-18.

"We have amazing memories of our times there in 2015. Defeating the USA in our first-round tie was where our incredible journey began, and then returning for the semi-final against Australia," GB Davis Cup captain Leon Smith said.

"I will never forget the unbelievable reception we got in the stadium and from everyone in the city."
