In 2024, the club was announced as one of the participants in the video game Copa City. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2210520/COPA_CITY/ https://pl.copacity.club/ Chickendonut (talk) 13:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 21:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Mention of 1913 Suffragette attack on old Manor Ground stadium removed?
[edit]I could not find any talk pages regarding this, so apologies if it's already been discussed!
I was browsing other pages (namely Ewood Park) and found that it linked back to this page regarding Suffragettes causing a fire and subsequent destruction of the grandstand of the Manor Ground staidum in Plumstead. This article talks about it, but there's no mention of it on this Arsenal page, the Manor Ground page, or the Highbury.
This seems like a significant historical detail which appears to have been removed from these pages given Arsenal_F.C.#Stadium_destruction_and_move_to_North_London. At a glance, it would appear that this attack and subsequent destruction was a major factor in moving to Highbury, so this seems like an odd event to exclude. BrotherEstapol (talk) 01:17, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Definitely should be mentioned in some form. I think the history section and just the whole article generally should be rewritten, bit of a mess atm. Idiosincrático (talk) 15:31, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Arsenal were founded on December 1st not 11th. Played first game on the 11th. Please correct. Thank you. ~2025-39787-62 (talk) 04:52, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Conflating the holding company with the men’s team
[edit]Kronkie Sports and Entertainment own the holding company of Arsenal FC which is called ‘The Arsenal football club’.
That holding company has subsidiaries of the men’s and woman’s clubs. The men’s club is not the holding company. The ‘full name’ and company at companies house are the holding company not the men’s team.
It is wrong to say he men’s team is the holding company and this must not be allowed to remain the case. ~2025-38470-92 (talk) 15:25, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
Arsenal kit history
[edit]The image of Arsenal's original kit as wine color with blue and white socks is not well substantiated in the references, or in history. Please see https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Arsenal/Arsenal.htm for a good discussion and some real sources. I would like to see this section changed and actual sources referenced to document Arsenal's kit colors through history. Xkoenig (talk) 02:39, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Regarding rivalries. Since its emergence as a top 6 club, Arsenal has had a recently growing rivalry with Manchester City. Especially whilst both challenged for the Premiership title in recent years. Dsv-wiki (talk) 04:05, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Change Kai Havertz's position from MF to FW, he rarely plays in midfield any more. Bethpam (talk) 14:36, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
Done since the squad list on Arsenal's official website, cited in reference 229, lists him as a forward. Day Creature (talk) 16:16, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
The team with the most uefa champions leagues
[edit]The uefa champions league is a club tournament in football where the best teams in Europe play to win a big 9 pound trophy there are many teams that have won this, the most recent being Paris-saint germain(PSG) but there is one team above all others, arsenal football club. The team conquering Europe 18 times in its 100+ year history. With teams like Real Madrid and ac Milan behind them. Arsenal, being founded in 1886, lasted a while without a ucl and ended up winning 18 crazy right? ~2026-49717-43 (talk) 11:06, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
Remove Hazard & Sokratis Picture and move it to the 2019 Europa League final page.
[edit]I am not sure why its been added and there is no need to add a picture of Hazard and Sokratis during 2019 Europa league final. There is already reference about that final in the history section. That picture is better used in the 2019 UEFA Europa League final - Wikipedia page. Footieedit10 (talk) 14:49, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Arsenal vs. Liverpool rivalry
[edit]Hi surely it is time that a page was created for this rivalry. These are two of the Biggest three clubs in England along with Manchester United. we have a page for Arsenal V. Manchester United and Liverpool vs. Manchester United, this is the missing fixture. I cannot believe there is not a page for this rivalry considering their history with each other. They have played in Fa Cup finals, a League Cup final and of course played out maybe the most famous match in the history of the entire league championship, in the 1989 title decider at Anfield. Can somebody create this please? Kind Regards ~2026-58578-68 (talk) 23:14, 2 November 2026 (UTC)
