Emirates Stadium to host Arsenal's WSL fixtures next season
Arsenal plans to host all 11 Women's Super League (WSL) home matches at the Emirates Stadium next season. The decision follows a season where Arsenal's WSL matches at the Emirates drew an average crowd of 34,110. The newly crowned Women's Champions League winners will continue to play some games at Meadow Park, including Women's Champions League group games, Women's FA Cup, and Women's League Cup ties. Arsenal aims to balance the schedules of both men's and women's teams to ensure all Premier League and WSL matches are played at the Emirates, with requests for alternate weekend home games. Arsenal's managing director, Richard Garlick, said the move is a bold step forward, creating a special home for the team and providing more opportunities for supporters to watch the European champions.

Arsenal to play all WSL home games at Emirates Stadium
Arsenal will play all 11 of next season's Women's Super League home matches at Emirates Stadium, and the club will offer season tickets for the first time, they said on Tuesday. The newly crowned Champions League winners, who have recorded some of the largest crowds in women's football, made the Emirates their main stadium last season, averaging 34,110 fans in the nine WSL games they played there. "For us, this is just the beginning, and bringing every WSL match to the Emirates is another step for more supporters to be part of this special journey," Arsenal coach Renee Slegers said. Arsenal, who defeated Barcelona 1-0 last month to win their first Champions League title in 18 years, still plan to play at Meadow Park, Borehamwood in the Women's Champions League league phase, as well as FA Cup and League Cup games. If they qualify for the Champions League knockout stages, those matches would take place at the 60,704-capacity Emirates. Arsenal recorded a 20 per cent increase in ticket sales for the 2024-25 season over the previous year, selling more than 415,000 tickets.
