Arsenal supporters cheer at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on July 31, 2025, ahead of a friendly exhibition football match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Hong Kong hosted the first north London derby on foreign soil.

Despite the loss, Arsenal fans enjoyed themselves.

🔺 Songsheets for chants
🔺 ‘North London Forever’ belted out
🔺 Decibel reader hit orchestra levels

@gunnerblog.bsky.social on witnessing a memorable atmosphere.

#AFC

“I dreamed of having an opportunity to concoct a magical fan experience similar to the Emirates in Hong Kong.

Hearing North London Forever booming strong by a local audience — among which English isn’t the first language — we could only beam with pride.”

Arsenal fans delight in first foreign NLD: ‘Hong Kong flooded red and white – words cannot describe that feeling’ The first north London derby staged in Hong Kong shows Asian fans can display the same fervour as those back home

“Hong Kong flooded red & white – words cannot describe that feeling.”

Not the result Arsenal wanted, but a special occasion in HK.

There is a commercial reality to these tours - but for local fans, they mean so much more.
