English Premier League club Arsenal’s Sydney tour match dates have been confirmed, with two games locked in for July next year.

The Gunners will play Sydney FC on Thursday July 13 in 2017 at ANZ Stadium, followed by a clash with Western Sydney two days later at the same venue.

Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis says his club were looking forward to the games.

“Our pre-season matches enable the squad to complete final preparations ahead of a new campaign, and Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers will provide a strong test for the team.

“The trip also gives our travelling squad a wonderful opportunity to see our loyal supporters in a country so passionate about football.

“It’s set to be a truly special trip and everyone at Arsenal football club is already looking forward to it,” Gazidis said.

NSW sports minister Stuart Ayres said the two matches were expected to attract more than 28,000 domestic and international visitors to the state, with a total visitor spend of $18.6 million.

“Tickets to the games … will go on sale on 19 July 2016, and I encourage all sports fans to come to Sydney …” he said.
