We’re delighted to announce two pre-season fixtures at Emirates Stadium as part of our preparations for the 2024/25 campaign.

On Sunday, August 11 at 2pm, our men’s first team will welcome French Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais in this year’s Emirates Cup.

The Emirates Cup clash comes after the visit of Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Wednesday, August 7 at 6pm.

First staged in 2007, at the end of our inaugural season at Emirates Stadium, this will be the 13th edition of the Emirates Cup. Last August, we celebrated a penalty shootout victory over AS Monaco.
