Arsenal Celebrates Premier League Triumph with Trophy Parade in Islington
Arsenal will celebrate a monumental achievement by parading the Premier League trophy and potentially the Champions League trophy around Islington on Sunday, 31 May. This marks a significant moment as the Gunners secured their first league title in 22 years after lifting the trophy following their final match of the season at Selhurst Park last Sunday. Following the confirmation of their title, when Manchester City drew against Bournemouth, thousands of Arsenal fans gathered at the Emirates Stadium to celebrate. This celebration was echoed when Martin Ødegaard, the team captain, lifted the trophy. On Saturday, Mikel Arteta's squad will pursue a historic double by competing against defending champions PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest. Regardless of the outcome, the team will return for the parade on Sunday afternoon. Parade Details Date: Sunday, 31 May Start Time: 2 PM BST Participants: Both the men’s and women’s teams, with the latter having won the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup earlier this season. Route The parade will follow this route: Start at Holloway Road from Drayton Park East along Seven Sisters Road Down to Blackstock Road, Mount Grove Road, and Green Lanes South along Petherton Road, Beresford Road, Newington Green Road, and Essex Road Turn north at Angel underground station onto Upper Street Head towards Highbury and Islington Station and return to Holloway Road Important Notes Roads around the Emirates Stadium will be closed and inaccessible to the public.
