Arsenal FC - Statistics & Facts

When looking at the worldwide Soccer Power Index, Arsenal FC finds itself among the top 20 soccer clubs in the world. Within the Premier League, Arsenal sits in third place in terms of total Premier League titles. The club has 13 top division titles to its name, of which 10 were obtained while it was still called the Football League First Division, prior to the league's reforming into its current Premier League format in 1992. Other titles within Arsenal's trophy cabinet include a record 14 FA Cups, as well as two League Cups. During the 2021/22 season, Arsenal FC had the 11th highest revenue of soccer clubs in Europe at 366.5 million euros.

Financial hit during the pandemic

COVID-19 restrictions in the Premier League caused a noticeable drop in Arsenal's revenue, mainly through a lack of ticketing and concessions on matchdays. While matchday revenues regularly exceeded 110 million euros in recent years, they were close to absent during the 2020/21 season as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, bringing in only 4.3 million euros. Just like with all other soccer teams, a drop in enterprise value directly attributed to the impact of the pandemic could also be seen, with the value falling from approximately 1.85 billion euros in 2020 to 1.45 billion euros in 2021. Since restrictions have been lifted, Arsenal fans returned to home matches with the second highest average attendance in the Premier League. In the 2021/22 season, an average of 59,752 spectators watched each league game at the Emirates Stadium, which has a maximum capacity of 60,704, making it the third largest stadium in the league.

135 years of soccer history

Arsenal FC was founded in 1886, originally under the name Dial Square. Since then, many famous players have worn the famous red shirt. Tony Adams holds the record for most appearances for Arsenal FC, having stepped on the field 567 times as a Gunner over the course of 19 years. The record for most Arsenal goals is held by legendary French striker Thierry Henry, who scored 228 times for the club, 175 of which were in the Premier League. Henry played for Arsenal from 1999 to 2007, with a short comeback during a loan spell in 2012, before also working as a coach for Arsenal's youth team a few years later. During a 2021 Statista survey, fans of Arsenal and those who knew of the club identified the most typical characteristic of Arsenal as being 'rich in tradition'.
