We are delighted to announce that the Emirates Cup is returning this pre-season and will be held on Saturday, July 29 and Sunday, July 30.
Joining us at Emirates Stadium for this summer's pre-season tournament will be current Portuguese champions Benfica, Europa League winners in 2014, 2015 and 2016, Sevilla; and RB Leipzig, who have been hugely impressive during their first season in the Bundesliga.
This will be the ninth staging of the Emirates Cup, which has been a regular in the club's pre-season schedule since moving to Emirates Stadium. As with the previous Emirates Cup tournaments, fans will enjoy two matches each on both Saturday and Sunday, with one ticket giving access to both matches on a particular day.
