Arsenal Arrives in Singapore with Style, Swagger, and a Chant for Declan

Singapore turned scarlet as Arsenal FC arrived at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove for their pre-season tour, headlining the Singapore Festival of Football. But this wasn’t just a sports moment it was a full on cultural spectacle.

Fans braved the sun for hours, umbrellas out, chants ready. The moment the iconic “Arsenal Tour 2025” bus pulled up, the energy exploded.

Leading the way was manager Mikel Arteta, cool and collected, pausing to greet fans with selfies and signatures. Right behind him? A 30-man squad that included Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, and more all making sharp, stylish entrances that turned the Sentosa driveway into a fashion runway.

Fan devotion hit peak levels when Declan Rice emerged. Forget jet lag he came ready, smiling, waving, and lighting up the crowd as chants of “Rice, Rice, baby!” echoed through the cove.

From teens in Arsenal jerseys to grown men skipping work and family events for a glimpse of the squad, the fanbase showed up loud, loyal, and dressed to impress.

With matches against AC Milan (July 23) and Newcastle United (July 27) coming up at the National Stadium, and an open training session on July 25, the week promises more than just football it’s a celebration of sport, culture, and global fandom.
