Arsenal contributed £616m to the UK economy in the 2022-23 season according to their Economic and Social Impact Report.

Of that sum, the borough of Islington benefited by £425m.

In addition to the money generated by the club, more than 4,400 jobs in the UK and 1,600 local jobs were supported in that one season alone.

Through the work of Arsenal in the Community 14,000 people participated in initiatives, which delivered over 140,000 hours of community-based activity.

“Arsenal brings so much to our community beyond the football we play,” said managing director, Richard Garlick. “Creating a sense of belonging and driving progress in our communities has been central to who we are since we were established in 1886. We cherish that heritage and the positive impact we continue to make.

“We hope the report, along with the stories shared by people in our local community, will bring to life the contribution Arsenal makes to the prosperity of the local communities we serve and the impact we have beyond Islington too.”
