Established in 2012, The Arsenal Foundation was founded during the club’s 125th anniversary in order to extend its good work and reach a greater number of beneficiaries around the world.
The Arsenal Foundation funds a great number of projects which use the club's name and the popularity of the game to reach disadvantaged young people. The most recent project in partnership with Save the Children saw the installation of two artificial football pitches in a camp in Iraq for internally displaced people.
*Players participating for both the Arsenal Legends and Milan Glorie teams are subject to personal availability on the day of the match.
