Together with Emirates, we wanted to provide our supporters with an opportunity to escape while the Premier League is on hold. Because if your favourite Gunners are flying out for international duty, why can’t you?
We gave four lucky fans the chance to win a trip to Dubai as part of the ultimate matchday experience. From the excitement of being called up by club legend Robert Pires, to the drama of the match-winning kick, Emirates provided supporters with a matchday they’d never forget.
Alan, Sadiq, John, and Roi were selected as the four winners of our official partner’s Emirates International Break online competition. For their prize, the quartet and their guests received executive box hospitality for our home clash against Liverpool, along with a host of special surprises throughout the day, including a prime position to see the players arrive and warm up pitchside.
To make their matchday unforgettable, they also had the chance to go down to the pitch at half-time to win a trip to Dubai with Emirates this March. For this exciting half-time show, the Emirates cabin crew were randomly paired with our contestants before the game and kicked to win the prize.
John Bensusan, a lifelong Gooner, became the lucky winner of a trip to Dubai for the first-ever Emirates International Break. The 74-year-old who has supported Arsenal since his father took him to a game when he was about five years old, reflected on the day: ‘I’ve never won anything in my life, so to win this is great – a dream come true! Thank you, Emirates!’
