Official Statement

Arsenal FC has always been a club associated with class, history and sporting integrity. Those values are very dear to supporters all over the world, so it is with great dismay that we have learned about the plans for the new Super League.

Creating a closed league for a select few clubs to enable said clubs’ dominance over all others goes against everything Arsenal FC has ever stood for. It is a decision motivated by greed and in complete disregard for the wider football community. It is our firm belief that this will only serve to further alienate supporters, which is not only damaging to Arsenal FC but to European football as a whole.

The plans as presented are an assault on the entire foundation upon which the game of football has been built. The fact that Arsenal FC is part of this is a disgrace and an affront to the values the club has always prided itself upon. We therefor join the calls for the plans for the Super League in its proposed form to be abolished immediately.
