Arsenal continued from where they left off last season in Catalonia on Saturday, thumping Girona 4–1 to kick off their summer slate.
The Gunners relished the Spanish sun and are now back a little closer to home, with Dublin’s Aviva Stadium—one of the grounds that will host matches at Euro 2028—staging their upcoming friendly against Real Betis.
Betis are bound to present a stiffer challenge than the newly-relegated Girona, with Manuel Pellegrini’s side preparing for their first Champions League campaign in over 21 years. Betis finished fifth in La Liga last term, and are laden with familiar faces, including long-time Gunner Hector Bellerín.
There are no marquee additions for Arsenal supporters to get excited about just yet. Still, the club is certainly working hard to ensure evolution is overseen in north London this summer.
Moreover, Mikel Arteta is expected to welcome back a couple more players from their World Cup breaks this week, with first preseason appearances for the likes of Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli projected in Ireland.
Here‘s how supporters around the world can tune into the Gunners’ next summer outing.
