Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham writes exclusively for the matchday programme about his ambitions for this pioneering football club and the wider women’s game.
I want to start by saying how incredible it has been to witness the amazing levels of support we’ve had for this game already.
Writing this a few days before the weekend, we have sold more than 47,000 tickets. Let’s see where we end up by kick-off, but we can say for sure that it will be a new record attendance for the WSL, so you are all part of history today!
Great credit is due to the numerous people at the club who have worked so hard to maximise sales, but of course the real credit goes to you, our supporters, who are grasping this opportunity to come and watch the team play at Emirates Stadium.
