WhatsApp and Facebook are proud to announce a new global partnership with Arsenal Football Club. 

This collaboration will bring supporters from around the world closer to the club and each other, bringing to life and spotlighting the unique role both apps play in the rituals, connection, and passion that defines what it is to be a Gooner.  

Arsenal supporters have long used WhatsApp and Facebook to come together through the emotional highs and lows that come with the love of the game.   

WhatsApp group chats are for supporters' inner circle, used for everything from debating team strategy, to turning in-jokes into stickers, and celebrating over voice messages with close friends all year round. Facebook is the global stage where supporters unite to celebrate their passion, watching Reels about the team and discussing player trades and news in Groups. Locally, supporters turn that energy into real-life experiences - coordinating Facebook watch parties and finding other Gooners in their area. 

This partnership will build on this, creating new ways for supporters to engage with the club across both platforms:
