The friendly match against the English team, the 49th Costa Brava Trophy-150th Anniversary of Estrella Damm, scheduled for Saturday, August 1st at 8:00 PM, has generated significant excitement. The Girona club confirmed that only VIP seats remain available, as all general admission tickets have been completely sold.
This encounter will serve as the presentation of Quique Álvarez's new Girona side to their fans. Montilivi stadium is set to host its first sell-out crowd of the 2026-27 season, albeit with reduced capacity due to the removal of the temporary stand in the South Goal. Numerous national and international tourists, currently vacationing on the Costa Brava, are also expected to attend and enjoy the high-quality football.
Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, will play their first pre-season friendly in Girona. In their previous visit, the Gunners secured a 1-2 victory. For Girona, this will be their fifth pre-season match before the league begins. Their previous results under Quique Álvarez include two draws (against Al-Qadsiah 0-0 and Castellón 3-3), a win against Olot (1-3), and a loss to Alavés (0-1).
