The Emirates will become the main home for Arsenal Women next season with the stadium set to host 11 matches across the campaign.

The Gunners will play eight Women’s Super League fixtures at their 60,000-seater stadium with the potential for a further three fixtures should they reach the group stage of the Champions League.

There could also be the chance for further matches if Jonas Eidevall’s side progress to the knockout rounds in Europe.

Remaining games, including all women’s domestic cup fixtures, will be played at Meadow Park, the home of Boreham Wood FC.

‘We have a special connection with our supporters, who have shown up in huge numbers and pushed us forward every step of the way,’ Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall said.
