Arsenal news as the Gunners confirm plans to visit the USA to face a Wayne Rooney-led MLS All-Stars team in July
Arsenal will visit the United States in the summer as part of the preparations for the 2023/24 season. Mikel Arteta and his players will take part in the annual MLS All-Star fixture in July in Washington D.C.
It will be the second consecutive year that the north Londoners have made the trip across the pond. Last summer, they defeated Everton, Orlando City and Chelsea in the space of a week in a rather successive trip.
"Our US tour last summer was very good preparation for the season, and we’re looking forward to once again visiting our amazing supporters in the US. The match against the MLS All-Stars will be a good test ahead of the 2023/24 season."
In addition to the All-Star game, members of the MLS will square-off in the 2023 MLS All-Star Skills Challenge the day before - Tuesday July 18 - with tickets available to buy now, here.
