Arsenal has confirmed that it has banned about 24 supporters for abusive and discriminatory behaviour during the 2023/2024 season.

The Gunners disclosed this in a statement on their website on Tuesday night ahead of their Premier League opener with Wolves on Saturday.

“We can confirm that 24 supporters were banned for abusive and discriminatory behaviour during the 2023/24 season.


“This includes 21 for abuse in the stadium, as well as three members for online abuse,” Arsenal’s statement partly read.

Assault – 10
Tragedy chanting – 5
Offensive gestures – 2
Racism – 2
Homophobia – 1
