AC Milan will take part in the annual Emirates Cup tournament held in London alongside Arsenal, and two other teams to be announced at a later date, the club have announced. Club vice president Adriano Galliani said a sponsorship deal had been struck with Fly Emirates, and they will play in the tournament which takes place between July 31 and August 1.

"Milan will play at the Emirates Cup in London," Galliani told the press after signing the deal.

"The opposition will be Arsenal and two other clubs of international level that are yet to be established."

Milan will also be travelling to Dubai as part of their winter training break.

"Our fans in Dubai will see us again in the new year and we will be there for five or six days during the winter break," he added.

He hopes the deal with Emirates will help Milan continue to achieve sustained success.

"Our successes attract major international sponsors and I am sure that we will also fly with Emirates over the next few years," he concluded.
