The 2015 Emirates Cup was a two-day pre-season men's football friendly tournament hosted by English Premier League club Arsenal and held at the Emirates Stadium, the club's home ground.
This was the eighth edition of the competition with four teams competing. Those were, the usual inclusion of hosts Arsenal of the Premier League, Olympique Lyonnais of Ligue 1, Villarreal of La Liga and Wolfsburg of Bundesliga.[1] The competition took place over the weekend of 25–26 July 2015.
The usual points system which awards 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss was supplemented by a point being awarded for each goal scored. Valencia won the 2014 edition, but didn't return to defend their title.
The opening two matches were on July 25, with the following matches staged a day later on July 26. The first match on both days started at 14:00 BST, with the second match started at 16:20 BST.
Standings
Each team played two matches, with three points awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and a point for every goal scored. In addition, shots on target were taken into account and used to decide the competition winners if teams were level on points and goal difference.[2]
