The presence of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and player Martin Odegaard added to the excitement, with the duo engaging with the kids and sharing tips and tricks to improve their skills.
During a press conference later in the day, Arteta expressed the club’s desire to connect with supporters in the USA and potentially convert them into loyal Arsenal fans. The manager emphasized the importance of creating joy and excitement through the way the team plays, hoping to inspire a new generation of football enthusiasts.
