Arsenal traditionally hosts an annual pre-season tournament at the Emirates Stadium, but they opted to postpone the event for a year because of the 2012 London Olympics. The visit to Nigeria will conclude Arsenal's pre-season after tours to both China and Malaysia in July.
On their official website, Arsenal said: "The club last visited Africa during a tour to South Africa in July 1993."
"It is returning as a result of the fantastic support which exists for the team, not only in Nigeria, but across the entire continent."
DanJan Sports revealed that tickets for the match will go on sale from 4 July.
I pray Boko doesn't come to spoil show.

ReplyDeleteWen d interest of choosin btwn Arsenal and Supes Eagles on wu 2 win comes in, d predictin sentiments also pounced on one's mind, especially on Nigerian Gunner fans.
ReplyDeleteBut d fact is dat i can't (sory, i won't) put Arsenal ahead of my National team (in spite me being an uncompromised gunner), when on many times, i hav pledged my faithfulnes, loyalty and honesty to Nigeria my Country.
I want Super Eagles to win bt d fact is dat, Arsenal hav upper chances of winnin bein a regular training and playin team while Super Eagles (in 60th of world rankin) only trained occasionaly as a team, hence d lower certainty of triumphin.
Whoeva wins, i win!
Gunner 4 life, 9JA 4 EVA!
