The Club Friendly Match between Arsenal vs AC Milan is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 15:00 EDT / 20:00 BST at Emirates Stadium in London, England. Arsenal is facing opening pre-season assignments with AC Milan.
Arsenal wrapped up the 2024–25 season just shy of silverware, bolstered by impressive home wins against teams like Chelsea and Fulham. Their pre-season tour kicked off in Asia, where training faced some weather challenges, but the main focus stayed on blending in the new signings.
On the other hand, AC Milan finished a disappointing 8th in the 2024-25 Serie A standings, missing out on European football for the next season. The team is currently on a pre-season tour in the Asia-Pacific region under Allegri, but Luka Modrić and Santiago Giménez are absent and will join later.
Arsenal brings stronger form, depth, and cohesion into this game, and Milan is in transition, rebuilding and missing key starters.
