Emirates Stadium, the iconic home of Arsenal Football Club since 2006, is one of the most recognizable football venues in England. Also known as Ashburton Grove, it replaced Highbury as Arsenal’s base and now holds over 60,000 fans for every matchday. This stadium isn’t just a place to watch football—it’s a hub for major European competitions, international friendlies, and high-stakes domestic clashes.
Emirates Stadium sits in Holloway, North London, and was built with modern fan experience in mind—clear sightlines, premium seating, and top-tier amenities. It’s hosted Champions League knockout games, including high-profile ties against Bayern Munich and Barcelona. The stadium has also welcomed Arsenal FC’s women’s team and served as a venue for England national team matches when Wembley was unavailable. Its design prioritizes atmosphere over spectacle, making it one of the loudest grounds in the Premier League when the crowd is fired up.
Unlike older stadiums, Emirates was built without naming rights to a local sponsor—instead, it carries the name of the airline Emirates, in a landmark £100 million deal. The revenue helped Arsenal pay off debts and rebuild the squad, turning the stadium into both a financial engine and a symbol of ambition. Fans know the walk from the nearby Holloway Road station, the smell of pies from the kiosks, and the roar that follows a goal from Bukayo Saka or Martin Ødegaard. It’s not just concrete and steel—it’s where legends are made, and where rivals come to test themselves.
