Arsenal Women will make the Emirates Stadium their main home at the start of next season.
The club has announced that 11 games will be played at the ground next season- eight Women’s Super League games and three Champions League games, if of course Arsenal qualify for the group stages.
The remaining fixtures, including all domestic cup matches, will take place at Arsenal’s Meadow Park in Borehamwood.
The six WSL games that Arsenal played at the Emirates this season saw an average attendance of over 52,000, which included two sold out venues and three WSL attendance records.

Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall added: “We have a special connection with our supporters, who have shown up in huge numbers and pushed us forward every step of the way.
