Arsenal announced a third summer friendly to go along with its other preseason preparations in the United States. Previously, the Gunners announced games against Manchester United and Liverpool in the USA this summer. Now, Arsenal will play a third game against a Premier League opponent later this month as it looks to build on back-to-back second-place finishes in the Premier League.
On Wednesday, July 24, Arsenal will feature at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA (already, tickets are on sale). That is the home of the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer. Yet, instead of playing the Galaxy, Arsenal will take on AFC Bournemouth. The Cherries are one of several clubs making a trip to the United States this summer. Additionally, Arsenal will be playing on the west coast against Manchester United. Therefore, this was a sensible game for both clubs ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Arsenal announced kickoff for the game on July 24 is at 7:30 p.m. local time, or 10:30 p.m. ET. It will be Arsenal’s first appearance at Dignity Health Sports Park, but it is far from the side’s first time in California. Arsenal has made a habit of coming to the United States and California in particular. Last summer, Arsenal played Barcelona at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles area. Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is the majority owner of that new stadium that is the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers of the NFL. That gives Arsenal an easy way to get into major stadiums.
The game against Bournemouth, though, is at a far smaller stadium. That game against Barcelona last summer pulled over 70,000 supporters for both clubs. Dignity Health Sports Park, by comparison, has a maximum capacity of 27,000 fans. Arsenal’s popularity should have no issue filling up this venue, though.
