Arsenal is wearing an all-white kit as they take on Manchester United in the FA Cup third round at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal all-white kit for their FA Cup third-round match against Manchester United is part of the club’s ongoing “No More Red” campaign. This initiative, in partnership with kit manufacturer Adidas, aims to raise awareness about youth violence and knife crime, while promoting efforts to keep young people safe in north London.
The “No More Red” campaign was launched in January 2022 and has become an annual tradition for Arsenal, with the team wearing the special white kit for one match each January. The all-white strip symbolizes the campaign’s message of reducing violence and creating safer communities.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed pride in being part of a club that prioritizes its community and supports important causes. “It’s not something that we’re used to, but it’s for the right reason, and we want to use it in the right way,” Arteta said.
The decision to wear the white kit underscores Arsenal’s commitment to making a positive impact beyond the football pitch. The club has invested in safe spaces for young people to play football, mentor-led social action projects, and volunteer incentive schemes to support charitable partners.
