We can confirm that 24 supporters were banned for abusive and discriminatory behaviour during the 2023/24 season. This includes 21 for abuse in the stadium, as well as three members for online abuse.
The supporters have each been handed bans of at least one year, with 14 handed three-year bans, meaning they cannot attend any Arsenal match home or away during that period.
