Who owns the Emirates Stadium?
The Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal played Lille, is owned by the club itself. However, the land it sits on is leased from Islington Council. This arrangement is common for many football clubs, allowing them to control their matchday operations while contributing to local authority revenue.
