Fresh from their Emirates FA Cup triumph over Chelsea, Arsenal recently took the trophy to Dubai.
Over 120 kids had their photographs taken with the trophy at Arsenal Soccer School Dubai (ASSD).
ASSD is a joint venture between Emirates and Arsenal, open to boys and girls, from ages 5 to 20.
Each year, more than 400 children are taught to ‘Play the Arsenal Way’, based on the same principles taught to the first team.
The training programme is designed to help aspiring young footballers develop their skills on the pitch, and ensure that they have a platform to reach their potential.
The FA Cup trophy was also taken to Emirates group headquarters, and employees were given the chance to take pictures with the trophy.
Emirates has sponsored Arsenal since 2004; a partnership which includes the club’s jersey sponsorship and naming rights to Arsenal’s home ground.
In 2015, Emirates became the title sponsor of the FA Cup, the world’s oldest and largest domestic football tournament.
