Arsenal’s Tour Of Nigeria Confirmed

English side Arsenal FC hosted the Nigeria Local Organising Committee (LOC) at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend.

A delegation led by Razaq Bello-Osagie will finalise discussion with Arsenal and sign the tour’s contract alongside DanJan Sports limited.

This will formalise and officially ratify the club’s summer pre-season tour to Nigeria.

It will be the English side’s first ever visit to Africa.

The club traditionally hosts an annual pre-season tournament at the Emirates Stadium, but they opted to postpone the event for a year because of the 2012 London Olympics.

As part of their preparation for the 2012/13 season, the club have opted to connect with their huge fan base in Africa, by visiting the continent.
