Arsenal Women make history as fans sell out Emirates for UWCL clash against Wolfsburg

Arsenal Women have made history before even playing their second leg UWCL semi-final tie against Wolfsburg.

Fans have snapped up more than 60,000 tickets, making tomorrow (Monday) afternoon's clash at the Emirates Stadium a complete sell-out set to witness Jonas Eidevall’s side compete for a place in the final, to be played in Eindhoven on Saturday 3 June.

The tie is finely poised following a 2-2 draw in Germany after an admirable fightback from the Gunners.

The sell-out means that over 240,000 tickets have been purchased to watch Arsenal Women at Emirates Stadium this season, with three Barclays Women’s Super League matches and five Champions League games taking place in N5.

“It’s wonderful news that such a huge match for us has sold out,” said Chief Executive Vinai Venkatesham. “We would like to say thank you to our supporters, with over 60,000 tickets sold for Monday’s match.

"We also say thank you for your fantastic support throughout the season – at Emirates Stadium, at Meadow Park and at grounds across England and Europe.

"It promises to be an exciting night in north London and we’re delighted that Jonas and our women’s first team will have the backing of so many supporters on this big occasion in the club’s history.”
