Arsenal to Host Atletico Madrid, Rangers and Paris Saint-Germain in Pre-Season Tournament

Following the huge success of the two previous Emirates Cup tournaments in 2007 and 2008, Arsenal Football Club and Emirates are delighted to announce that the Emirates Stadium will once again host a two-day pre-season tournament featuring four of Europe’s leading clubs.

Emirates Cup 2009 will take place over the weekend of Saturday 1st August and Sunday 2nd August, and joining the Gunners for this summer’s exciting tournament will be Scottish giants Rangers, Spanish side Atletico Madrid and leading French club Paris Saint-Germain.

Similar to the previous Emirates Cup tournaments, two matches will be played on each day, with the kick-off times being at 2pm and 4.15pm, with one ticket giving fans access to both matches on that particular day.

The four participating teams boast many high profile international players who will feature over the weekend, which will also offer many Gunners supporters the first opportunity to see the Arsenal first team squad play ahead of the 2009/2010 season.
