Our under-21s kick off their pre-season campaign with the first of six scheduled friendlies, taking on Boreham Wood at the Mangata Pay UK Stadium this Saturday, July 12. Kick-off is at 3pm (UK time).
This fixture marks the first opportunity for fans to watch our young Gunners in action as they prepare for another exciting Premier League 2 season. Alongside PL2 duties, our U21s will also be competing in the Vertu Trophy this year, and details on our upcoming opponents can be found below.
The squad returned to pre-season training a few weeks ago at the Sobha Realty Training Centre, recharging and regrouping after an eighth-place finish in the 2024/25 Premier League 2 campaign.
