Arsenal’s women will play 11 of their home games at the Emirates Stadium next season, making it the primary venue for the team, the Women’s Super League (WSL) side said on Tuesday.
Arsenal women, who played most of their home games at the 4,500-capacity Meadow Park this season, played six WSL matches at the 60,704-seater Emirates which had an average attendance of 52,029, including two sellouts.
“We are one club, with a vision to win major trophies across our men’s and women’s teams. This move supports this ambition,” Arsenal’s sporting director Edu Gaspar said in a statement.
Arsenal won the League Cup this season and are assured of a top three finish in the WSL, which guarantees Champions League qualification. They will finish the campaign on Saturday hosting Brighton & Hove Albion at Meadow Park.
