Arsenal Set to Face Borussia Dortmund in Emirates Cup Showdown

Arsenal will compete against Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, seeking to secure silverware before the start of the 2026-27 season.

The Gunners are looking to win the tournament for the fifth year in a row after previously claiming victory in the last four editions. They enter this match following a 3-1 loss to Real Betis, which ended their unbeaten pre-season streak that included wins over MK Dons and Girona.

Despite the recent setback, Arsenal has a strong history in the Emirates Cup, having won it nine times. This match also serves as a crucial opportunity for them to gain momentum ahead of their upcoming Community Shield clash against Manchester City. Borussia Dortmund, under Niko Kovac, has had a mixed pre-season, winning two and losing two of their four friendlies. They will also use this match to prepare for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup later this month.
