Arsenal host World Cup Day 2018

To celebrate this summer’s FIFA World Cup, Arsenal Double Club hosted a very special event at Emirates Stadium as part of our latest national languages competition.

Two hundred and fifty secondary schools from across the UK entered the competition, with 20 lucky schools being selected to attend our World Cup Day.

More than 100 pupils took part in fun, educational activities in French, German and Spanish, featuring interactive content with first team players Laurent Koscielny, Alexandre Lacazette, Per Mertesacker, Sead Kolasinac, Hector Bellerin and David Ospina.

There was also a multilingual heads or tails quiz, which featured Alex Scott, Granit Xhaka, Mohamed Elneny and Jessica Samuelsson.
