Fresh from their victory over Chelsea
FC, Arsenal brought the Emirates FA Cup once again to Dubai after the team’s
record 13th victory of the historic trophy.
The Emirates FA Cup made its way to
Arsenal Soccer Schools Dubai at 7he Sevens so that it’s lucky students could
join in to take special individual and group photos with the trophy, and over
120 kids had their photo taken with the iconic trophy.
Arsenal Soccer Schools Dubai is a joint
venture between Emirates and Arsenal, open to boys and girls of all abilities,
aging from five 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 also designed to help aspiring young footballers develop
their skills on the pitch, ensuring they have a platform to reach their
potential.
Emirates has been a proud sponsor of
Arsenal Football Club since 2004, and the partnership includes the club’s
jersey sponsorship and naming rights to Arsenal’s home ground, Emirates
Stadium.
In 2015 Emirates became Title Sponsor
of the FA Cup, the world’s oldest and largest domestic football tournament,
which is now globally known as The Emirates FA Cup.
The Emirates FA Cup also made a special
visit to Emirates Group Headquarters, and employees were given the chance to
take pictures with the trophy.
