Arsenal Football Club has announced the launch of a unique dating show aimed at bringing single supporters together through their shared passion for the team. The documentary-style series will feature blind dates between fans, set up at a local venue, before culminating in a matchday experience at the Emirates Stadium. Applicants are required to detail what sparked their love for Arsenal, as well as provide preferences for their ideal partner, including age and height range. The club believes that football can be a foundation for deeper connections, stating, “Match days at Emirates Stadium are a time to connect with the beautiful game – and each other.”
An official statement from the club teased: ‘Matchdays at Emirates Stadium are a time to connect with the beautiful game – and each other.
‘It’s for this reason that we’re launching a new dating show that celebrates how a shared love of football can prove a catalyst for an even deeper romance.
‘We are calling on our single supporters in the UK to apply to be part of the production, which will involve attending a blind date with a fellow Gooner centred around an Arsenal game.’
While the initiative has sparked excitement among fans, participants have been cautioned about potential background checks and the confidentiality of the production. Arsenal has also indicated that the show’s production is not guaranteed to proceed as planned.
