LONDON (AP) – Arsenal’s players will wear an all-white uniform for their FA Cup third-round tie against Manchester United on Sunday as part of the club’s continued campaign against knife crime and youth violence.
The campaign launched in 2022 and this is the fourth season Arsenal have worn a kit “empty of the club’s traditional red” to raise awareness.
Arsenal said the all-white uniform will never be available to buy. The ‘No More Red’ campaign has seen investment in initiatives to create more safe spaces to play football and organized activities within the community.
“It is important that we continue to invest in safe spaces where we engage young people who face multiple challenges as they navigate their lives. This is where trust is built and positive relationships are developed with our staff,” said Freddie Hudson, Chief Executive of Arsenal in Community.
“Being part of something positive like No More Red creates an important sense of belonging. The safe spaces and trusted relationships lead to connections and opportunities such as volunteering, education and employment.”
