It’s been confirmed that an Arsenal XI will face Boreham Park at Meadow Lane on 6 July.

The fixture will see us play a mix of under-23 and under-18 players as the first team squad are not due to report back for pre-season training until the week after.

Last year the game was scheduled a week later and Unai Emery used it as an opportunity to get to know his players having recently taken over from Arsene Wenger.

It ended up being a bit of a mismatch with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting a hat-trick inside 17 minutes and the Gunners running out 8-0 winners.

In 2017 Arsenal signed a 10-year agreement with Boreham Wood that allows us to use Meadow Park for Arsenal Youth Development and Arsenal Women matches until the end of the 2026/27 season.

As part of the agreement, we’ve helped fund ongoing improvements to the stadium.
