The visit was part of the Club’s Expo 2020 Dubai tour, which included a stop at the mega-event’s gravity-defying waterfall where players dipped their feet and tried climbing the four-storey walls.
Arsenal player, Alexandre Lacazette, said, “It was an incredible experience to visit Expo 2020 during our visit to Dubai. We’ve enjoyed getting down to hard work during our warm weather training sessions in first class surroundings, and it was great to have a break to explore the Emirates pavilion. The boys found it very interesting to take a look into the future, and the gravity defying waterfall was a particular highlight. On behalf of the club, I’d like to thank Emirates for making us feel so welcome.”
The Arsenal squad has come to Dubai for its warm weather training sessions as they prepare for the final weeks of the 2021/2022 football season.
The Emirates and Arsenal partnership is one the longest-running and recognisable relationships in the Premier League, and one of the most longstanding in the world of sport, with Emirates’ branding on the Club’s jerseys spanning more than 15 years. Arsenal’s home also continues to be known as Emirates Stadium until 2028.
The airline has also featured a montage of several first-team players on its A380 aircraft, with special liveries flying around the world to celebrate the partnership over the last few years.
