We’re delighted to announce the Emirates Cup will return again this summer with a clash against AS Monaco.
Our men’s first team will take on the Ligue 1 giants at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, August 2, kicking off at 6pm (BST).
Emirates Cup 2023 will give supporters an opportunity to enjoy a high-quality pre-season match ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, and follows our tour to the United States where we will play the MLS All-Stars in Washington, Manchester United in New Jersey and FC Barcelona in Los Angeles as part of our preparations.
This year’s Emirates Cup will be the 12th edition of the competition, which has been a regular part of our pre-season schedule since our move to Emirates Stadium and has featured a host of leading clubs including AC Milan, Benfica, Boca Juniors, Inter Milan, Juventus, Olympique Lyonnais, Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla.
Sporting Director Edu said: “The Emirates Cup is always such an important part of our pre-season preparations and we thank our partners Emirates for their continued fantastic support. Once again this year, we are welcoming strong opposition to play us in an exciting match in front of our supporters.
"AS Monaco are a team with many good players and will provide us with a very competitive challenge ahead of the new season. We are all really pleased with how our pre-season schedule is shaping up, with the aim of giving Mikel, the players and all our staff the best possible preparation as we lead into the start of the season. We look forward to seeing many supporters at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, August 2!”
Richard Jewsbury, Emirates’ Divisional Vice President, United Kingdom added: “It’s been an incredible year for Arsenal and the return of the Emirates Cup this summer gives fans another opportunity to cheer on their club at home. We’re thrilled to continue our support of the tournament and we can’t wait to see what action unfolds on the pitch this August.’’
