Arsenal confirm Bayern Munich and Lyon will compete in Emirates Cup in July

Arsenal have confirmed that Bayern Munich and Lyon will complete the line-up for this year’s Emirates Cup on July 28.

Unai Emery’s side will face Lyon at the Emirates Stadium after Joe Montemurro’s women’s side take on Bayern.

Tickets are £25 for adults and £12 for concessions in what is Arsenal fans’ sole opportunity to see Arsenal’s men’s team in action at home during the 2019-20 pre-season.

The competition was not held last year due to stadium building work but returns in a shorter format – four men’s matches were previously spread over two days.

Managing director Vinal Venkatesham said: “We are particularly thrilled that the schedule has allowed us to feature our highly successful women’s team as part of this event.

"The match will follow this summer’s World Cup where many of our players will have featured and will be another indicator of the rapid growth of the women’s game.”
